I don't think I did. So...
This study looks at how evidence is shown in court. There's story order, where it's shown in the order that the events happen, and there's witness order, where the evidence is shown following the primacy and recency effects. It's a lab experiment involving students from Northwestern University and Chicago University. They're shown evidence for the victim and defendant in different orders, depending on the group. They found that if the vitctim evidence was in story order or the defendant evidence was in witness order, the defendant is more likely to be found guilty. If the victim evidence was in witness order or the defendant evidence was in story order, the defendant was less likely to be found guilty. There was also something about the participant's confidence where the first result had them as being more confident in their choice compared to the second result.
