Recently, due to scientific critiques, Department of Justice policy, and judges\u2019 rulings, firearms experts have tempered their conclusions. In two experiments, we tested whether this ostensibly more cautious language has its intended effect on jurors (Experiment 1), and whether cross-examination impacts jurors\u2019 perception of firearm testimony (Experiment 2). We found that apart from the most limited language (\u201ccannot exclude the defendant\u2019s gun\u201d), judicial intervention to limit firearms conclusion language is not likely to produce its intended effect. Moreover, cross-examination does not appear to affect perceptions or individual juror verdicts.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSAFE invites researchers, collaborators, and members of the broader forensics and statistics communities to participate in our December Center Wide Webinar on\u00a0Tuesday, December 8 from 11-12 pm CST.
