Attorney Wood recently assembled a tremendous team from Wilmer Cutler Picker Hale and Dorr and the Harvard Law School Criminal Justice Institute for an important amicus brief arguing that seeks to extend protections against racial bias in jury deliberations. Specifically, the brief argues that the Supreme Judicial Court should extend the obligation of the trial judge to investigate credible allegations of racial bias in jury deliberations beyond previous holdings to require that the trial judge conduct individual voir dire of all deliberating jurors to determine whether any expression of bias during deliberations has affected their ability to be fair and impartial.
