I began listening being biased against juries. But your discussion has changed my mind. Amazing how discussion can change opinions. Thank you, kind Sir.
I consider myself a reasonably balanced, mature person who can look at things objectively, yet I don't think I have any place to be a juror making decisions that massively affect others.
I've been on Jury duty twice,a whole week on both occasions of absolute boredom . Both times we the jury were instructed by the court clerk not to discuss the case,not just with family and friends but also each other until we deliberate the defendants innocence or guilt. By lunch on the first day some were already discussing the case. And by the third day had already made up their minds ! You are also provided with s note pad and pen for taking notes. I filled the whole pad snd more on notes on evidence given. After a week or more of hearing evidence you need to reference information when deliberating,I was one of three who took notes. It was an absolute shambles in the jury room. Also the jurrror carry prejudices, politics and religion with them Are juries actually impartial ? In Scottish law we have three verdicts. guilty, not guilty and not proven. Not proven essentially means neither the prosecution or the defence has convinced the majority of the jury of the defendant's guilt or innocence. Not an ideal outcome for potentially the vici of a crime if there was one. Or in the defendant's case they are neither guilty or innocent. If further evidence comes to light the defendant can be re arrested and summoned to court again. All sounds so simple until you take part in a jury !
Here in Australia when I went to my sisters, we have moved away now, we would all contribute so the expense is not carried by the host. One would provide the salads and bread rolls, one would provide the hams, or an chickens and one would providevtge seafood and deserts.
One of my lawyer mates - who goes before the High Court, so he's decent - says "if you're innocent, choose a judge trial, if you're guilty go for a jury."
I've been chosen for jury service a couple of times. I'd like to do it. But once it was the first day of a new job, and the other time I had mobility issues. But... having heard the experiences of other people, I'd rather leave it to the experts. AKA judges and lawyers.
There's a common misconception that if you have a criminal record that prevents or rules you out for jury duty ! It does only if you've had a custodial or a suspended sentence.

You may under-estimate yourself.
I have done jury service twice and can only say that I tried my best to come to an unbiased decision based on only the information put in front of me.

Acusatorial V. Inquisitorial.
The right to trial by jury is a basic right of a safeguard of freedom from an arbitrary government.

I saw the program with two juries separated and they came up with different outcomes. This is peoples lives.
Getting rid of juries is not the answer! A change and codification of the Criminal Law IS! 🙏⚖️🙏

Really? A section of society riddled with prejudices and preconceived views of other classes and social strata ?

Why has James not talked about the Luigi Mangione case all week?
Why ? It's not a relevant story or in our interests.
He's a puppet
It's one of many news stories around the world. You can't expect Mr O'Brien to address all of them.
