A quick definition of jury tampering:

Definition: Jury tampering is when someone tries to influence a juror's decision in a trial by talking to them privately or giving them information that is not allowed. This is not allowed because it can make the trial unfair. People who do this can be punished by going to jail. It is important to have a fair trial with an impartial jury, so tampering with the jury is not allowed.

A more thorough explanation:

Jury tampering is when someone tries to influence a juror's decision in a trial by talking to them privately or giving them information that is not allowed in court. This is against the law and can result in serious consequences.

  • Bribing a juror with money or gifts to sway their decision
  • Threatening or intimidating a juror to make them vote a certain way
  • Talking to a juror outside of court and giving them information about the case that was not presented in court

These examples show how someone can try to unfairly influence a juror's decision. It is important for jurors to make their decision based only on the evidence presented in court and not be influenced by outside factors.

Jury tampering is a serious offense and can result in criminal charges. Depending on the state, it can be a felony or a misdemeanor. In New York, for example, bribing a juror is a class D felony and can result in up to seven years in prison.

The law prohibits jury tampering to ensure that everyone has a fair trial with an impartial jury. If someone is accused of jury tampering, they must prove that their actions did not affect the jury's decision.
