“…These characterizations are based on a holistic analysis (similar to that reported by Mileski 1971; Sarat 1977; Ptacek 1999; and Hunter 2005) and reflect a wide range of verbal and nonverbal behaviors, such as tone of voice, gestures, and facial expressions, as well as elements of the content of speech, detailed more fully below.

“…Though many countries use juries to some degree, the overwhelming majority of the world's jury trials occur in the United States (Vidmar, 2001). The United States is also the principal site of jury research, and communication scholars used the jury to study group decision making (e.g., Boster, Hunter, & Hale, 1991;Burnett & Badzinski, 2000;Pettus, 1990;Sunwolf & Siebold, 1998), nonverbal communication in the courtroom (Burnett & Badzinski, 2005;Pryor & Buchanan, 1984), and the potential influence of public advocacy messages on jury deliberations (O'Connor, 2006).
