In fact, a jury free of misconduct is the exception rather than the rule. PII has investigated dozens of juries in civil and criminal cases and can find out what truly happened during deliberations. Our investigators have had notable success locating jurors, even if the original trial occurred decades earlier.

For criminal attorneys who suspect jury misconduct, an investigation, particularly one that is conducted as soon after the trial as possible, can provide the evidence needed as grounds for a new trial.
