Is the Jury system the best we can do?
Current mood:

Category: Blogging

The jury System leaves a lot to be desired.		How accurate is an eyewitness to an event? Any of us who views or experiences a crime in progress will have differing viewpoints from the others as we re-tell what we saw. A jury likewise will have differing viewpoints on facts presented before them. Are we then able to find twelve similar minds, having heard the same information, arrive at teh same conclusions. Can anyone actually receive a fair jury trial? Because your side of the case comes out winning, does that mean the deliberations were fair? A case should be weighed fairly and impartially. As a group of individuals, lay people, who sometimes negate the law in favor of or against a defendant. Their decisions are not easily reviewable by an appellate court. How easy is it to find twelve individuals not already prejudiced against the defendant? Potential jurors could be tainted by bias, sympathies,a nd venom, based on the nature of the case alone. Tune into Blogtalkrradio...com Don Durant to discuss this story in detail. Also blog us on myspace...com/..originalwriter or e-mail us at originalwriter@..myspace.com Some say it is all we have, I say it can be approved on. Citizens forced to leave jobs and homes, sitting through a selection process that is often demeaning, and not quite even handed. blogtalkradio...com/don-durant
