Move towards #authoritarian state

What those with trial experience think of removing #juries

David #Lammy to cut number of #jury trials in England, Wales. A defendant, a victim, a barrister, a KC, a judge and a juror have concerns

We spoke to a range of people who have seen juries’ work close up about their experiences and the proposals.

"Both judges and juries bring biases to the courtroom. The critical difference is that juries are more diverse than a single judge. Today, 89% of judges are white, 61% are men, and around a third attended private school. Fewer than 10% come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds"

@GhostOnTheHalfShell I'm sorry that your experiences were disheartening. I fear they were not uncommon experiences.

But for me, that doesn't dent my faith in #jurytrials. For me, the merit of #Juries is not that they routinely make the most wise decisions. I value the #jury because it is the legal system's ultimate internal safeguard against despotism and authoritariaism.

A jury prevents law from getting too far ahead of the citizen on the street. #JuryNullification is the citizens veto.
