Over the past few decades, researchers have studied the effects of death qualification on jurors’ interpretation of evidence, perceptions of trial participants, and beliefs related to the trial (Butler 2007a; Haney 1984; Haney et al. 1994). This research suggests that death qualification might affect jurors’ mental frameworks, establishing biased information processing schemas and strengthening punitive attitudes. In a seminal study on death qualification, Haney (1984) demonstrated that the process itself had an effect on perceptions of defendants and other individuals in the courtroom, attitudes toward the death penalty, and perceptions of others’ attitudes.
