Judge Bunton tests three jurors vs six in civil trials
U S District Judge Lucius Bunton announced an experiment placing two civil juries in classrooms across Midland Pecos Waco and El Paso. One panel uses six jurors while an unofficial three member panel deliberates separately. The two juries hear the same evidence but render different verdicts. If practical the plan could save time and money though the official verdicts remain with the six jurors. The test progresses with two completed trials, one in Waco and one in Midland.
