Men on a jury more likely to convict an obese woman, psychology study finds

According to a new study from Yale University, overweight women who find themselves in front of a jury in the U.S. face longer odds at getting a fair trial than skinny or obese men, or women with lower BMIs.

Male jurors are more likely to find women guilty of a crime if they are overweight, the study said. Researchers also found that men are more likely to think the woman is a repeat offender if she is overweight.
