Our justice system revolves around who can sell bullshit to a jury of 12 morons better. It is wrong and must be abolished.

YOu do realize that bench trials are a thing? Are in fact quite common in civil trials, which are enormously more common than criminal trials? And that even before you get to trial, you have an enormously long and complicated pre-trial setup about what you can and can't bring in trial? Don't let TV fool you, those motions are where the battle is won or lost, 99.9% of all trials are foregone conclusions.

It's a terrible system but it's better than any alternative yet proposed.

Why can jurors let criminals who actually did the crime on camera plead not guilty?
>>2663593
Eh. A jury is just to give the illusion that it's a public process. In reality the decision reached by the jury is rarely a "surprise".

What's the point of having courts at all if you can just make defendants plea guilty?
