'Luigi Mangione can't get away with pretty face but can have attractive-defendant effect on jurors'

Jury consultant David Barnard explains the "attractive-defendant effect" which is a well-established phenomenon that he said could impact the Luigi Mangione's case. ​"For example, jurors who believe Mangione committed the crime might still be inclined to find him guilty of a lesser charge if such an option exists, particularly if factors, such as mental illness, are introduced," Barnard said.
