The Impact Of Social Media On Trials In Australia Podcast

Sydney Criminal Lawyer Maggie Sten from George Sten & Co, talks with Rod Morri about the impact of Social Media and Juries, when on trial. 

Maggie talks about jurors who might be tempted to use social media or the internet to find out further information about the trial other than what is being presented in court. 

There have been a number of cases in Australia where social media or internet searches by jurors have led to aborted trials, and in some cases, penalties for the jurors involved.
