I think it would be good for jurors to have access to ongoing services as needed. It would be ideal to have somebody who's designated to be available to debrief afterward, but also to be available on a crisis basis for jurors. There would have to be clear guidelines that you're not getting into the evidence itself—what jurors believe or don't believe—but more into the trauma triggers.
The research suggests that whether you're a juror, a judge, or an old psychologist, you'll be more triggered by certain cases. For example, if you were sexually abused in childhood yourself and you hear accounts from a victim, you might be triggered about your own childhood history. If you are hearing evidence from a 10-year-old girl, and you have a 10-year-old daughter, you might be triggered. Some jurors will be more sensitized than others to some information and evidence.
I think we need counsellors who are especially skilled to deal only with the jurors' reactions and to stay away from the quality of the evidence or whether something is accurate or not. I'm sure defence lawyers are watching this testimony, and being very.... I think they'll be very concerned if we're getting into the evidence itself, rather than the impact of the evidence.
