The whole point of a jury trial is for the jury to decide what they believe are the facts from the evidence, testimony, and arguments provided by the lawyers on both sides. You are essentially proposing that we kneecap juries by taking the power of fact-finding away from them and handing it to another authority. That would undermine the check on government overreach juries are meant to provide.
- salawat 5y agoYou woefully undershoot the position of power that juries hold, and this is no surprise The judicial system frowns on those who understand the concept of jury nullification. The jury is the People's seat and primary check on the exercise of Governmental power. It's one more layer to the overall setup of checks and balances.
