fixing a jury

Read a random definition: stool pigeon

A quick definition of fixing a jury:

Fixing a jury is when someone illegally convinces one or more jurors to help them win a trial. This is also called jury-fixing. It is not allowed and is similar to cheating. A person who does this is called a jury-fixer.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fixing a jury refers to the illegal act of influencing one or more jurors to cooperate in a trial and ultimately affect the outcome of the case. It is also known as jury-fixing.

Examples: A lawyer bribing a juror to vote in favor of their client, or threatening a juror to vote against the opposing party are both examples of fixing a jury. Another example is when a juror has a personal relationship with one of the parties involved in the case and fails to disclose it during the selection process.

Explanation: These examples illustrate how fixing a jury can occur through bribery, threats, or personal relationships. When a juror is influenced in any way that affects their ability to make an impartial decision, it is considered jury-fixing. This undermines the fairness and integrity of the trial process and is illegal.
