Respecting juries.
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, September 24 2012 @ 11:54 AM EDT
I'm thinking of something similar to double jeopardy, where a person can be tried a second time if they bribed the judge or took jurors family members hostage. The argument there is that jeopardy never attached, because the defendent was never actually in jeopardy.

I am not sure what you are trying to say but double jeopardy means that person cannot be tried for the same crime twice.

All right. The 5th amendment says:

"Nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be
twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.."

if all you Perry Mason wannabees had stayed awake in your
civics class long enough to hear past your teacher saying
"that means that generally you can't be tried twice", to the
part where if the courts determine that you weren't in
jeopardy during a trial because of some trial tampering,
that you can be tried again.

SO now can we get back to the point, which is should we
still ber giving all this respect to juries if they did not
behave as a real jury? And should we let courts investigate
if they behaved as a real jury.
