Show Notes
Previously, a Canadian juror was sworn to secrecy and couldn't provide details of the case to a mental health professional. Now, a new bill would allow those jurors to openly talk about the cases they've worked on and the potentially traumatic things they've heard or witnessed in the courtroom. Joining Alex to talk about this is Mark Farrant, Founder and CEO of The Canadian Juries Commission.
