However, concerning the mass media status in Taiwan, crime news often draws great attention from the audience. The reports are spread through different kinds of medium, which may possibly change people’s knowing of trials.
To prevent the potential lay assessors from being impartial because of the crime news reports and to protect the defendants’ rights of fair trial in the future, this thesis discusses the factors that reform lay assessors’moral conviction. We will fisrt demonstrate that the media will change one’s moral conviction, which will be analyzed with forensic psychology and communication theories at the same time. Furthermore, we will introduce the standards and approaches that the Supreme Court of the United States adopted as well as bring up some proper lawmaking and policy suggestions at last.
