Before the jury is seated potential jurors are polled as to whether they have a willingness to impose the Death Penalty, can they ask the question . They can speak to it a moral believe they have. Thats all they can do. I think human being are decent Decision Makers on where their moral compass lies, their history with crime and law enforcement. I think people are prepared to answer that. They are not prepared to understand the impact of being involved in a capital murder trial. They cant know that. They can only speculate on the decisionmaking process. How much do we know about how jurors are psychologically affected. Just by the trial itself in a Death Penalty case . Theres a range of responses. First of all, its a lengthy process. The kind of evidence presented in a capital case can be traumatic to view. The photograph, the imagery, the victims statements watching what the victims have been through, and in this case the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev case this is a community in which they reside. The city was torn apart. It is traumatic to listen. When it comes to the process, well see different experiences. Some may feel a level of closure, and others will be conflicted. Depending on the level of conflict, it can be a changing process. Do we know the full psychological impact until someone is executed . I think therell be different stages in the process. Therell be the issuing of the guilty verdict. And the penalty phase. For many jurors, a lot of time can pass between the issuing of the penalty and the execution, and the actual execution, if they are informed by it can bring back a lot of feeling at that time. It depends on the individual juror, and the nature of the case. Since time passes a persons psychological process will unfold. Im surprised to read that studies found a lot of death penaltiors need counselling. Absolutely, its not surprising. It is a stressful experience, they are exposed to images the leebs of which many will likes of which many will not experience. Its isolating, something they couldnt share with anyone but the other jurors. When the trial is complete and completed they feel isolated in the process, and counselling is an important place to share, particularly if they are conflicted or regretful about the process of deliberation. How longlasting can the effect be . Theres a lot of differences. Depending on how psychologically challenging or traumatic the decision was at being in the process or seeing the imagery, it can last for years. We cant underestimate the effect of this psychologically demanding and unique experience. It will depend on the individual juror.
