The present study tested the hypothesis that jurors comply selectively with instructions to dissregard inadmissible evidence. A total of 81 mock jurors read a murder trial summary in which a wiretap was ruled admissible, inadmissible because it was not reliable, or inadmissible because it was ilegally obtained (there was also a no - wiretap control group). As predicted, participants were more likely to vote guilty and interpreted subsequent evidence as more incriminating in the admissible and inadmissible / due - process conditions than inthe admissible / unreliable and control groups. These results suggest that jurors are influenced not by the judge's rulling per se but by the causal basis for that ruling. Conceptual and practical implications are discussed.
