O. J. Analysis: Stephen Adler Discusses Jurors and Race.
Journalist Stephen Adler. He is former legal affairs editor of The Wall Street Journal and is now the paper's investigative editor. Terry will discuss with him the O.J. Simpson trial and the jury process. Last year Adler's book about what's wrong with the jury system and how it can be fixed, was published: The Jury: Trial and Error in the American Courtroom, (Times Books/Random House). Adler looked at the history of the jury system and how our attitudes about juries changed over the years. Adler blamed poor jury selection, shrewd and savvy lawyers, and judges who don't explain the legal issues well enough to jurors.
