Judge Dorrance Dibell urged gradual reform to the American jury system citing England’s procedures and Crippen trial lessons. He proposed limiting juror impaneling, allowing nonunanimous verdicts for most cases, giving judges more control, and permitting indictment amendments when errors appear. He argued media influence and juror education as core issues.
