- brigandish 7y agoWhile technically true, I wouldn't characterise that as "hav[ing] a jury system" but of those systems making use of a jury in exceptional cases or a very limited capacity. Even then I would feel it mischaracterised the system to anyone from the Anglosphere. Greece, for instance, has a jury made up of judges. That's not a jury, that's an equivocation!
