Criminal trials · Defense and prosecution

Find the reasonable doubt before the jury does.

Put your criminal case in front of jurors from your own county before trial. They start from the presumption of innocence, weigh every element against proof beyond a reasonable doubt, decide each count on its own, and tell you exactly what moved them.

For the defense

Know which count is weak, and why.

  • See which jurors hold out, on which counts, and what moves them: a witness, the timeline, the police work, a gap in the evidence.
  • Test self-defense, mistaken identity or lack of intent against a jury pool from your venue before you commit to a theory.
  • Upload discovery, the police report and your expert’s findings. The jury hears every page you approve.
  • Rerun with one fact changed and see whether the room moves (each run at the regular price, or included in Unlimited).
For prosecutors

Test a case before you charge it.

  • Likelihood of conviction on every count, across 10,000 juries seated from your own county.
  • See where a jury lands on a lesser-included offense, before you decide what to charge or what plea to offer.
  • Upload the police report, statements and lab results. The jury hears every page you approve, the way a trial jury would.
  • Find the juror profiles that doubt your case, and the evidence that wins them back.

The law, built in.

Every criminal run follows the rules a real criminal jury is given.

Presumed innocentEvery juror starts there and is told so, in plain words.
Beyond a reasonable doubtEach element of each charge, weighed one at a time. A doubt on any element means not guilty on that count.
Count by countEach charge is decided on its own, with its own votes and its own holdouts.
Lesser-included offensesWhen a jury won’t convict on the top charge, you see whether it lands on the lesser one.
Excluded evidence stays outEvidence the judge excluded never reaches the jurors.
Punishment off the tableJurors are told sentencing is the judge’s job, as in most courtrooms.
A criminal mock trial count by count: how likely 10,000 juries are to convict on each charge, a conviction on the lesser offense, and a hung count

Count by count.

A sample case, run on Jurors.com. A truck driver glanced at his dispatch tablet in a work zone before a crash. Twelve jurors deliberated for three rounds.

On the felony, eight voted guilty as charged and four would convict only of the lesser offense. All twelve agreed on at least the lesser offense, reckless driving. The charge for using the tablet in a work zone hung, 11 to 1.

Before anyone deliberated, all 100 jurors in the county pool voted once: 11 would convict on the felony as charged, and 89 of the lesser offense. So almost none of the 10,000 juries seated from those votes started with a majority for the felony. The twelve in the room went further than the county as a whole.

Tested on real trials, blind.

We gave our jurors recent real criminal trials, with the names changed, without telling them how the cases ended. Here’s how they reasoned.

Brooklyn · fatal crash · five charges

A driver ran three red lights at 62 mph, then left on foot with his injured girlfriend.

“I think he should answer for the driving, but I don’t believe he left anyone to die.”Juror, 56, stock clerk

Our jurors weighed each charge on its own: guilty on the driving, not guilty of leaving the scene.

Houston · shooting · murder charged

A group surrounded a car; one of them shot the driver as he pulled away.

“If he felt threatened, reacted in the moment, it’s not premeditated, not murder. Reckless, sure, but not murder.”Juror, 32, loan officer

The question was intent. Our jurors rejected murder, and most chose the lesser offense of manslaughter.

Chicago · off-duty officer · murder charged

He says she grabbed his gun and it fired in the struggle. Then he hid the evidence.

“He panicked, got rid of evidence… the prosecution needs to prove he meant to do this.”Juror, 34, moving helper

Most of our jurors held the prosecution to proving intent and would acquit. A vocal minority saw the cover-up as the proof.

Your discovery stays yours
