JUDGING DEMEANOR |
109 Minnesota Law Review 1503 (April, 2025) |
This Article challenges the conventional wisdom that defendant demeanor-- affect, body language, and physical appearance--helps juries assess guilt. On the contrary, we show that demeanor evidence poses an inherent risk of propensity-based reasoning. It invites jurors to convict defendants based on whether they look like criminals, rather than on... |
