Shocking in many sad ways. The man has ruined so many lives and hopes of honest hard working people yet believes he was not so bad. His statement that many people don't do it because of getting is probably true and that is why we must make the punishment of crimes as horrific as the crimes committed. 20 yrs is not a big enough deterrent, remember, its only 20 yrs if you get caught. What a horrible decision by the judge - making examples are an important part of the judicial system. Saying he is "no Madoff" is an insult to common sense and to the victims and future victims of people that will look at this and say "I think I can get away with this and twenty years may not be that bad. After all look where I would do the (easy) time." Does twenty years discourage a 60 yrs old? II feel sorry for his victims including his kids who will have to pay for their father's sins.

If so, I agree. I think that this post underscores the need to look beyond the verdict. There is so much more that can be gleaned from observing the group decision making process. The "how" rather than the "what" can be the most enlightening aspect of mock jury deliberations. Chuck, by “results” do you mean mock jury verdicts? If so, I agree.

And troubling. It is a good illustration of why relying solely upon mock jury results during voir dire can lead to disastrous trial results. Very interesting. And troubling.

So much can be lost in behavioral research by relying solely on self-reported data. Unfortunately, unconscious processes have waned in popularity among researchers, but a small group of them is trying to change this.
