Democracy is the worst political system, except for all the other ones. [/ QUOTE ] Shooting yourself in the toe is the worst way to shoot yourself, except for all the other ones. Despite this, most people I know simply avoid shooting themselves altogether. [ QUOTE ] The jury system is the same way. It is certainly flawed, but at the same time it is the best anyone can come up with to consistently meet our definition of justice [/ QUOTE ] One-size-fits-all? |

Re: Juries: Yes or No?
I understand Nielso has an agenda, but I'd love, just once, only one time, to hear if he actually has an opinion on anything other than the legitimacy of the state. He just won't respond, unless he can work in a state-sucks reference. Does he think juries are stupid? Does he like cheeseburgers?

Re: Juries: Yes or No?
Nielsio on the state:
"I would not, could not, in the rain. Not in the dark. Not on a train. Not in a car. Not in a tree. I do not like it, Sam, you see. Not in a house. Not in a box. Not with a mouse. Not with a fox. I will not like it here or there. I do not like it anywhere!" |

Re: Juries: Yes or No?
The worst part about it, IMO, is letting the lawyers pick the jurors. Might as well let Joe Torre and Terry Francona pick the umpires: they'll pick people who are prone to decide the way they want the decision decided, instead of people who are, excuse the expression, fair and balanced.
