This document discusses the concept of "blind juries" where jurors are prevented from seeing the defendant in order to reduce racial bias. Currently, minorities are disproportionately incarcerated, especially for nonviolent drug offenses. Blind juries could help address this by removing the ability of jurors to form unconscious biases based on the defendant's appearance. However, others argue blind juries may make it too easy to convict if jurors are removed from the defendant personally and cannot assess remorse. Potential solutions proposed include allowing written or altered voice testimony from defendants to still connect with jurors, or using blind juries only for nonviolent offenses.
