Effectronica posted:It stands directly in opposition to liberalism and leftism, with its cult of the expert. Just say "no". There are plenty of countries that both are more democratic and less obsessed with the concept of a jury than the US. In fact, juries stand in direct opposition to the reality that the average citizen is completely and utterly poo poo at making legal decisions and increase injustice for everyone.

Nathilus posted:Stupidity is less scary than corruption when it comes down to life and death. Having a political class that has sole right of judgement and can execute people or lock them up for life is practically asking for de facto plutocracy. And yet, most of Europe uses juries in much fewer cases if at all while being less of a plutocracy than the US. Amused to Death posted:Juries don't exist to rule on law, they exist to rule on whether or not the state has provided enough evidence to convict someone. We have judges to make decisions on law. The average citizen is also unqualified to evaluate much of the evidence used in court. See e.g.: CSI effect.
