Merge w/ Jury Tampering

I would go against merging since embracery is not entirely obsolete/superceded by jury tampering. There are cases where this charge is brought, even today, and there is some confusion from it.

So now we come to the embracery charge. Supposedly, this is an archaic offense with its roots in the Magna Carta. Suffice it to say that jury tampering is a bad thing. But there’s a separate offense for jury tampering. Why embracery? Who’s ever heard of embracery? "Wyatt indictment rocks election day". Retrieved 2007-11-06.

An page on this subject in entirety would be useful. B.S. Lawrence 15:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
