Now that you Perry Mason wannabees are don't can we get back to the point.
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 12:21 AM EDT
That what I thought my last post was about. All these Perry
Mason wanabees who didn't pay attention in civics class
debating double jeopardy.

I simply brought up double jeopardy as an analogy. In a
trial with judge bribing or jury tampering the person can be
retried because his actions meant that he was never in "real
jeopardy".

Deference should be given to any "real jury", ie one that
takes its job seriously and makes every effort to come to a
good verdict, and not do things like come to the trial drunk
. But one thing that this trial has pointed out ( through
all my reading on juror misconduct ) is just how much
deference is given to a group of people we call a jury.

The question I pointed out is should we ( as a society )
allow judges more powers to investigate a jury to see that
it is a "real jury".
