Yes, absolutely.
The last point I want to emphasize is that I think it is valuable for jurors to receive some debriefing, whether it is conducted by the trial presiding judge or whether it is conducted by a professional, particularly in cases that have been of long duration or cases in which there has been confronting or gruesome evidence. Aside from making available to jurors some counselling and support services—we have found in Australia that at least around 20% of the jurors take up that offer if they feel comfortable and trusting of the confidential counselling service—some general debriefing that provides closure seems to be a very positive way to end the jury experience.
Thank you.
