You're not wrong. Humans are fallible and thus so are jury trials.

  But judges are infallible and thus so are bench trials?
  • austenallred 9y ago
    Um no one said or even implied either of those things
    • emodendroket 9y ago
      It does seem to be implied if you are invoking human fallibility to bolster an argument that jury trials are bad.
      • austenallred 9y ago
        How does jury trials being imperfect imply that bench trials are perfect? A being true does not mean B is false...
        • emodendroket 9y ago
          The OP was saying that bench trials are much better, not just that jury trials are flawed.
          • austenallred 9y ago
            better != perfect
            • emodendroket 9y ago
              OK, so the argument is that regular people are... more fallible than a judge? I don't understand what you want to say at this point.

    Judges are either appointed or elected, both equates to judges being political creatures.
    • emodendroket 9y ago
      It's a rhetorical question.
