State Laws
Original Text: The American Bar Association (ABA) unanimously passed a resolution in 2013 urging governments to follow California's lead in prescribing explicit juror instructions to ignore bias and to educate prosecutors about panic defenses.

Revision Text: The American Bar Association (ABA) passed a resolution in 2013 urging state legislators to follow two recommendations based on the language from already existing laws when creating new proposals. The first was to adopt similar language to California's law that reminded jurors that they were required to adhere to the law and should not allow any form of prejudice rooted in perception or actual sexual identity to inform their decisions. The second recommendation was to adopt similar language to Australia's law that outlines that non-violent sexual advancements can not warrant actions that lead to the victims death.
