The number of legal systems in the Asia Pacific that conduct jury trials is growing. Although, there is evidence corroborating the suitability of jury trials for achieving justice, research also highlights problematic aspects. Eye witness testimony at jury trials, in particular, raises a number of potential issues which include the continuing influence of retracted witness testimony, potentially unsuitable interview techniques, insufficient differentiation between recall and recognition and potential juror prejudice. The problem of withdrawn testimony is considered in relation to the well-researched concept of the continued influence effect. Options for minimisation of the continued influence effect based on the event model concept are explored, for instance, by offering a coherent alternative explanation instead of a simple withdrawal of the testimony. Further discussion explores how concomitant factors affect the severity of the continuing influence of retracted testimony. One such factor is the potential for juror prejudice due to ethnic differences between the accused, witnesses, and jurors. The subject of juror prejudice is examined in the context of the intergroup contact hypothesis and research on indirect and vicarious intergroup contact. Moreover, options to improve the quality of testimonies and to avoid retractions in the first place are discussed. Several research-based recommendations are provided and possible actions are suggested for ameliorating the problems discussed.
