The proposed study will examine how mock juries assess testimony and evidence in a drug conspiracy trial. To fully understand how such juror instructions shape decision-making, the proposed research will administer scientifically-based instructions to randomly assigned jury groups in a courtroom setting. This research will inform policy regarding the use of informants and promote effective strategies to enhance the credibility of witnesses and contribute to the overall fairness in the criminal justice process.
