The right to a fair trial requires juries to have the legal right to acquit defended on there conscious. Otherwise state collusion and pressure leads to oppression.

In some parts of the Western world, we're taught that jury-by-peer is a bastion of fairness, but what is a peer?

I suggest that this propaganda isn't all it's cracked up to be. I offer Nuremberg and Man in a High Castle as exhibits A and B.

Mediaite: Almost Half of Jury Pool in Musk Trial Tossed After ‘So Many’ Said They ‘Hate’ Him . “Elon Musk may have been contemplating snacking on a few earthworms after a brutal treatment by a jury pool in San Francisco, with almost half of the prospective jurors being disqualified because they declared their hatred for the tech CEO — one even went so far as to say he wanted to see […]

@davidallengreen offers a succinct, powerful & timely defence of juries - which it would be nice if David Lammy noted...
'the great value of juries is not so much the powers they have, but the powers they prevent others from having'!
(Dag makes this comment in a discussion of the constitutional act of trying to indict legislators - comparing the Tangerine Tyrant with Charles I).

Move towards #authoritarian state
What those with trial experience think of removing #juries
David #Lammy to cut number of #jury trials in England, Wales. A defendant, a victim, a barrister, a KC, a judge and a juror have concerns
We spoke to a range of people who have seen juries’ work close up about their experiences and the proposals.

"Both judges and juries bring biases to the courtroom. The critical difference is that juries are more diverse than a single judge. Today, 89% of judges are white, 61% are men, and around a third attended private school. Fewer than 10% come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds"

David #Lammy,
“Trials are a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea.”

@GhostOnTheHalfShell I'm sorry that your experiences were disheartening. I fear they were not uncommon experiences.
But for me, that doesn't dent my faith in #jurytrials. For me, the merit of #Juries is not that they routinely make the most wise decisions. I value the #jury because it is the legal system's ultimate internal safeguard against despotism and authoritariaism.
A jury prevents law from getting too far ahead of the citizen on the street. #JuryNullification is the citizens veto.

Jury trials, a critical part of democracy, are disappearing https://theconversation.com/jury-trials-a-critical-part-of-democracy-are-disappearing-262471
Early Americans thus saw jury service not merely as a procedural safeguard against overreaching government authority, but as a way to distribute the power granted by the Constitution, ensuring that ordinary citizens played an important role.

"Grand Juries in D.C. Reject Wave of Charges Under Trump’s Crackdown
The persistent rejections suggest that the grand jurors may have had enough of prosecutors seeking harsh charges in a highly politicized environment.
In the three weeks since President Trump flooded the streets of Washington with hundreds of troops and federal agents, there have been only a few scattered protests and scarcely a word from Congress, which has quietly gone along with the deployment.
But one show of resistance has come from an extraordinary source: federal grand jurors. In what could be read as a citizens’ revolt, ordinary people serving on grand juries have repeatedly refused in recent days to indict their fellow residents who became entangled in either the president’s immigration crackdown or his more recent show of force. It has happened in at least seven cases — including three times for the same defendant.
Given the secretive nature of grand juries, it is all but impossible to know precisely why this has been happening, but the persistent rejections suggest that grand jurors may have had enough of prosecutors seeking harsh charges in a highly politicized environment.
Courthouse wits have long quoted Judge Sol Wachtler, the former New York jurist who said that prosecutors are in such complete control of grand juries that they could get them to indict a ham sandwich. But that old saw did not hold true in the rebellion in Federal District Court in Washington, where grand jurors seem to have taken a stand in defense of their community."

CW: AU mushroom murders - odd jury fact
For those who have been following the Australian mushroom murders trial, here's an interesting fact I didn't know about AU juries.
The trial began with 15 jurors, providing a buffer for emergencies. If one juror falls ill, the trial doesn't have to restart. Makes sense.
"During this trial, one juror was discharged for potentially speaking to friends or family about the case, so we are now down to 14 jurors.
"But only 12 get to make this decision, so before they retire for deliberations two jurors will be balloted off."
Imagining sitting on the jury of a whodunit murder trial for several weeks, only to be removed before deliberations begin. I'd be livid.
