Trial by jury is a far fairer system and less prone to shenanigans Because bringing in laymen when the professionals make a mistake/are corrupt makes so much sense... 6-12 people with no stake in the proceedings are automatically less likely to be corrupt. You have to be pretty bad with sense not to see that >_> And the 12 laypeople work to the defendant's advantage, ensuring that the innocent are less likely to wind up in prison; likewise, the 6+ are more likely to render an impartial verdict in civil cases. ifnsman posted...

For reference, I live in Flint, Michigan and that's where the court is. So if I don't have to be the juror on some heinous rape or murder I might get raped or murdered while walking into the courthouse. i'm rooting for you! lol tbh, I hope Jen gets her wish and gets stuck on a lengthy federal case >_> --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:905385256] in Argh!
