Nowhere did I say that isn't the case. A crime cannot always be tried _via jury_, though.

- moi2388 2y agoWhich in most cases would be a good thing since regular people don’t understand the law nor technical details whatsoever. Only in the USA with your literally corrupt judges that would be a problem.
- paulddraper 2y agoBecause it's irrelevant. The jury decides guilt or innocence, and then the judge issues the sentence. No need for step 1.
- tadfisher 2y agoIn this case, the jury would also decide damages, including punitive damages above and beyond that requested by the prosecution.
