What other methods do judges and juries use to reach their decision oh wise and knowledgeable legal expert? What evidence are judges and juries allowed to consider besides what is submitted to them by the parties? Do we encourage them to do outside research now? Is that why there are multiple stories a week about mistrials and appeals being granted because it turns out that someone was using the internet on a smartphone inappropriately during a trial?
