Why do we have trial by jury when the average person is so dumb and illogical?

Why do we have trial by jury when the average person is so dumb and illogical?

we have built our entire legal system based on the premise that people are dumb and so we need the system to be as easy to understand as possible. there are arguments you literally can't make in court because they are too smart for average retards

We used to be all white people in this country.

With a ~100 IQ you should be able to discern who is guilty and follow court instructions easily enough. Not to mention you can understand concepts like burden of proof and reasonable doubt.

Why do we have democracy when the average person is so dumb and illogical?

You can waive your right to a jury trial and have a bench trial.

it's a good question

>Why do we have elections when the average person is so dumb and illogical?
it's better than the alternative Comrade Stalin

The better questions are:

Why is the defense not allowed to introduce 90% of the evidence that the prosecution is?

Why did the supreme court decide that defense attorneys have no duty to zealously defend their clients, but prosecutors do?

Why does the constitution say that no one will face trial twice for the same crime, but in the event a mistrial there is no limit on the amount of times a prosecutor can re-try a case?

Why aren't defendants allowed to tell the jury about the amount of prison time a conviction will give them?

Why aren't defendants allowed to tell the jury about jury nullification?

Why can the defendant not show the jury anything from his own interview with the police, but the prosecutor can show as many parts of it out of context as he wants?

Could it be because the government wants to stack the deck in their favor when it comes to using state force against its subjects?

nahhh..."smart" people are the worst plague, for real, the "above average" smart person is pure CANCER!!!

truly smart people are all AT LEAST 135iq and over, and most importantly, practically are all social autists, if not, they are manipulative psychos, either way, they are not normies

having a bunch of 115's judge you must be the worst, their ego is massive and they are still not smart, so they are very easy to manipulate (see your average leftard)

>Why do we have trial by jury when the average person is so dumb and illogical?

because people should have a jury by a trial of their peers and if the average person is dumb and illogical thats what they deserve.

we should have only the constitution as law, the rest is pure bullshit that was made by corrupts to facilitate their corruption

Monarchy and fascism are the superior options.

Unironically this.

You deserve what you are.

Because it is you’re right to have your fate decided by your peers instead of a single man who knows more than you do. If you are so guilty that in the eyes of all of your peers you are without a doubt guilty then you deserve jail time.

>you're right

my god...this is what i am talking about

maybe you should go to law school and have these questions answered in your first week of classes. retard.

Doesn't matter because only a small percentage of cases ever go to jury trial. The justice system is an incredible farce.

Settlements were a mistake.

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

Winston Churchill

Everything in your country is a popularity contest.

Nah, just the things they show.

why human society dumb illogical

I dodged a prison sentence entirely because the average person is dumb and illogical. Don't complain.

We don't. We have a republic.
