In a recent article titled Lehrmann\u2019s barrister refers Higgins\u2019 public statement to court, police<\/strong><\/em> (https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/politics\/federal\/lehrmann-trial-aborted-after-juror-misconduct-20221027-p5btei.html), we heard how a jury member’s ‘indiscretion” in privately researching on the subject and the potential sharing of the information in the jury room was sufficient to abort and force a new trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to this, the article itself and all other media comments seen by the public will make it more difficult for the accused to get a fair trial – some may even say it would be impossible since the future jury would have been made even more aware and biased by the reporting, the accusations, the misinformation, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This raises several questions about media reporting of ongoing criminal cases: should the identity of the persons be revealed? How is it possible to prevent juries and potential jurors from becoming biased or influenced one way or the other by what they read, see or hear in media reports? Should there be trials by jury at all when media reports abound? How about when the accused or the accusers are celebrities, known figures, or from particular [tainted] industries or professions? All these issues are potential causes of miscarriages of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n
