Goffman on the jury: real jurors' attention to the "offstage" of trials.
Law and Human Behavior 2010 August
Social psychologist Erving Goffman, in his classic work The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, provides a framework that explains why jurors may turn their attention at the courthouse to information not formally presented from the witness stand.

However, in contrast to predictions, these observations played a surprisingly minor role in the jury deliberation process.
