Hey u do want to answer this one?

Question

Would you prefer to be tried by a jury or a judge? and Explain why. :)

Answer 1

A jury. It is easier to bribe a judge than 12 people on a jury, so the jury would likely be untainted. Most prosecutors would do anything legal or illegal to win a conviction. Of course, I would be innocent.

Answer 2

Judge. And there are several reasons for this, not the least of which being that I don't want anyone deciding my fate that wasn't smart enough to get OUT of jury duty. Secondly, the average person doesn't ahve the knowledge of the law to determin if the law was violated. While they may be able to determine if the person did what it is claimed they did, the legality of it is beyond the scope of the average persons experience and knowledge. Third, most people on a jury don't want to be there and are more interested in getting the thing over with than with a honest result.
Fourth, the average person is no able to make the kind of decisions required in a courtcase without bias because they have not been taught to look at things with real objectivity. They are more likely to amke a decision based on personal ideas and biases than a judge would.

We need to get rid of the jury system and get thigns working right for achange.

Answer 3

Hmmm......that's a tough one.

I think I'd have to say a judge because they're paid to be fair and give an accurate representation of the law. Chances are that the judge knows how to interperate the law in a much better way than any of the jury might.

I think a judge is more likely to be fair to someone than a jury would be.

Answer 4

A jury would be better, as there are several people with several different opinions gettiing together, discussing and sharing a decision. However, a judge is only one person and right or wrong their decision stands.

Answer 5

Jury. It takes one person to have a doubt so I get out of jail. With the judge it is just him. There is no other person that could believe there is a chance I didn't do it.

Which I probably didn't do it.

Answer 6

It depends on the nature of the case.

For example, Judges tend to understand fraud cases whereas a jury is less likely to understand because of the complexity of fraud.

Answer 7

by a jury. with a jury the decision will be collective. by a judge it will be by one man alone.

Answer 8

Depending on how public the crime was.A jury seems to be persuaded by others, on the panel.The judge is way more qualified, to give and unbiased decision.

Answer 9

If the jury is anything like the one in the mock trial we had in high school then no.

Answer 10

I would say a jury. You're more likely to raise doubt with someone who is just joe public and hasn't delt with criminals for their career vs someone who has probably heard it all on the stand and may not be as easily to change his/her mind.
