Just a Thought
We are supposed to have a jury of our peers which has been adjudged on many occasions to mean that we have a jury that is representative of the population as a whole, to the best of the ability of the judiciary to accomplish.
Then on the most important trials that we can encounter the courts, both state and federal, purposely violate this precept with more than a small amount of malice.
What am I talking about? I am talking about trials where the death penalty is a possibility. In those trials the prosecutors are allowed to “pre-qualify” the jury by eliminating anyone who opposes the death penalty for any reason; religious, moral, or whatever.
Why is this not a jury of our peers? Quite simply because the majority of Americans oppose the death penalty. Thus you are eliminating the majority of people from the jury pool. Also, the majority of college educated people are against the death penalty. Thus you are eliminating the more educated from the jury pool.
Jury of their peers. If so, it is a sad commentary on the judicial system.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
Your opinion. As I state in my welcome page; if you have another opinion, start your own website. This is my website and these are my opinions. As for doing something about it, I would suggest you try to recommend a way that one would do so in the case of pre-qualification of a jury. Fat chance of being able to change that.
