You don't need to teach someone how to run a business around selling, or even design and build electronics in order to educate them well enough about the particulars which relate to the case.
Yes you do need to teach them, otherwise they are not educated enough." You don't need to teach someone how to run a business around selling?"?
Are you kidding me? If you want your business to succed, you won't take someone from the street to run your business, I guess you will prefer business MBA graduate, no?
So, should we have expert murderers acting as the jury in a murder case? I'm really not sure where else your logic could be going.
Another illogical sentence, funny how you twist it....
No, we should not have murders, how about police officers?
How about judges who know, learn, and saw infinite cases of murders trials, and know the diffrent between facts, and emotion manipulations.
Know the law?
Ok, first we'll deal with a bit of basic ignorance on your part.
1) It was a jury of 9 people, not 12.
2) Of course the jury is going to consist of Americans, it was a trial in an American court, based on American laws.
3) The *judge* was of Korean descent. You've never seen me complain about that, because it has no bearing on the case.
Ok so since the jury from America this is not fair trial priod. And since the judge is just a puppet and can't decide anything in this system it doesn't matter where is her birth place.
That's why we have well educated judges overseeing the process. It's also why we don't have juries consisting of a single, *lone* individual. Our jury system is based on the (well proven) concept that different people will notice, and give differing importance to different details and connections. Having a group to discuss and debate those details and connections provides the best way to ensure that nothing gets glossed over. (Having the group stay reasonably small, as our jury system does, helps prevent committee-deadlock.)
as you saw in the you tube movie, while the jury consist of a bunch of people, there could be ( as in this case) someone that can talk out the other jury opinion, and act as small lawyer, twisting the facts and ideas to his side.
Not all jury is consist of educated high class people, and some fall to this talk.
So as said before sad system. And it can explain the many mistakes in court, and the infinite innocent people that sit in jail, just because they could not afford a good lawyer actor that can do a show for them, to trick the audience.
