the jury system sucks ... but replacing it with a panel of jurists, that would REALLY suck ...

why not use a panel of the laity ... with members required to never have been an attorney, paralegal, or legislator ...

My post was in response to your moronic decision to put a synopsis of a "Touched by an Angel" episode in a thread that was supposed to be an intelligent discussion of an issue.

ok, having dispensed with the jury system, and (self-evidently) with the proposal to replace it with a panel of jurists, what could we do next?

how about maintaining criminal law in a database, and turning the sentencing phase into a database lookup? and much of the evidentiary phase as well?

cookie cutter justice ... no more of this "i done it cuz my pa beat me when i wuz little" crap ...
