Trial with a jurry of your peers is one of worst things in our law systems. All cases should be decided by a panel of judges who understand the law clearly. Not a group of ordinar citizens. We need to end this jury system now, and change to trial by panel of judges only.
an understanding of the law does not prevent judges from introducing their own preconceptions and bias to a case. you might as well say all cases should be judged by a computer which is programmed with the rules of law.
I am not saying judges won't be bias, but giving so much power to ordinary people, power to decide a mans fate is not something I support.
