I mean its a shit system eh ?

some right dozy gets get on them, some will just agree with the others to get home etc

wouldnt it be better to have a revolving panel of intelligent mature people who have achieved in life and pay them to do it

say have a pool of 100 and use 10 for each case

I mean I know a bloke (Jock) who has just been on a jury and I wouldnt trust him with my pet fucking goldfish

surely intelligence and life experience are primary functions in 'judging' whether a person is guilty ?

Jock is seriously lacking the first one and yet we let him loose on some poor fucker

Pish. A jury is made up of morally ambiguous people uninfluenced by their status.

'Sentenced by a jury of your peers' has just taken on a whole new aura of fear for dipshit criminals.
OP it depends how much you trust your judges, unfortunately there's plenty of incompetent, lazy, corrupt bastards in their ranks too.

So how is this guy 'thick'. Is he a little different to what you perceive to be intelligent? Does he have a trade? Doctors don't build bridges and towers.

Judged by your peers, never sentenced.

Fecking Yanks say sentenced, watching too many of their films since I've been of work. Better watch I don't start dropping my 'U's.
