IT IS NOTED THAT JURY SIZE MAY AFFECT PERFORMANCE IN TWO WAYS: SMALLER JURIES MAY BE LESS REPRESENTATIVE, AND THEIR DECISIONS MAY, THEREFORE, BE LESS REFLECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY; AND SMALLER JURIES MAY HAVE POORER PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS SINCE THEY WILL HAVE INPUT FROM FEWER INDIVIDUALS. FINALLY, THE AUTHOR CITES RESULTS OF STATISTICAL MODEL OF THE JURY DECISIONMAKING PROCESS WHICH SHOWS THAT SMALLER JURIES ARE INFERIOR. FOR EXAMPLE, THE MODEL SHOWED THAT FOR 12-MEMBER JURIES, THE PROBABILITY OF CONVICTING AN INNOCENT PERSON IS .0221, AND THE PROBABILITY OF ACQUITTING A GUILTY PERSON IS .0615. FOR A 6-MEMBER JURY, THESE ERRORS ARE INCREASED BY MORE THAN 50 PERCENT; THE PROBABILITIES RISE TO .0325 AND .1395 RESPECTIVELY....DMC
