Abstract

This chapter will consider the development and effect of the internet on the jury system. It offers a contemporary understanding of how the jury is subverted and corrupted. Whilst corruption is external—bribery, threats, etc.—to a jury or individual members—I examine the internal—individual jury members searching for information on the internet which is populated with bias, prejudicial, sham ‘news’ and articles and the extent to which this can corrupt criminal justice. I then consider how courts currently employ ‘negative rules’ to prevent independent research. Finally I suggest other options for courts to consider as our use of the internet and other devices will increase in the future and put the ‘black box’ of the jury deliberation under threat.
