I think that would be the concern, that you need to preserve the integrity of the decision-makers, and when there are 12 of them, you need to make sure that the decision is the decision of those 12. There are criminal offences of tampering with juries and interfering with juries. I'm not suggesting counsellors will do that, but given that we have it as a criminal offence, we're obviously concerned with intentional interference, but I think we also have to be worried about unintentional interference with the deliberation process.
I think it's a much more complicated question, in terms of the fairness of the trial and fairness to the accused, to provide supports on an individual basis. That's not to say you can't provide education around the possible symptoms and issues. Education is one thing you can provide. I think providing individual counselling to jurors through the process, which permits them to talk about deliberations, runs a real risk of creating unfairness in the jury process that you won't ever be able to measure. You would never be able to measure whether it's unfairness to the crown or unfairness to the accused, because it would be in a confidential environment.
