That’s the whole point though - it’s a cohort of your peers who are regular normal people who really aren’t trained being guided by the available evidence presented by those who are trained. There should be enough evidence of your guilt to convince 12 of them that you committed the crime, rather than the state and the feudal lord saying you did it and locking you up forever.
- rich_sasha 11mo agoMy experience of the general public is that they aren't very good at nuanced thinking. And crime, or legal disputes in general, are often nuanced.

- rich_sasha 11mo agoYou are confirming my concern.
- austinjp 11mo agoHow?
- gizajob 11mo agoThey’re as lacking in nuance now as they have been for the past 800 hundred years and it’s the system we’ve gone with.
