Just to answer your question, I'm quite struck, because that was our experience, too, that about 10% of jurors actually experienced high levels of stress. I think the similarity in those percentages is quite telling. The symptoms might not clinically be PTSD, but certainly similar or at least a mild form of PTSD.
I think it really comes down to what types of cases we are seeing. In the United States, we've had a rather dramatic decrease in the number of cases that go to trial. On the criminal side, there are plea bargains or plea agreements, and on the civil side, many of them are just settlements, particularly in court cases. Today I don't have statistics on this, but I suspect that jurors are actually being exposed to much less traumatic cases than they were 20 years ago when we first did our study.
So the incidence of juror stress may not be as severe as it was 20 years ago, but for those cases that do take place, particularly capital trials or the cases with very gruesome evidence, probably about 10% of the jurors would still experience that type of stress.
