From WSJopinion: More jury trials won’t solve all the problems in our criminal-justice system. But they would bring more misconduct to light and thereby make courts and prosecutions fairer, writes ConLawWarrior and SomilBTrivedi
Four recent trials have left Americans divided and skeptical over whether our criminal-justice system actually produces just outcomes. The conviction of three men for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, the conviction of Jussie Smollett for falsely reporting a hate crime, and the trial of Elizabeth Holmes for allegedly lying to investors have played out in much different ways, with legitimately controversial outcomes in the first three cases.
Americans may disagree on the charges or verdicts in these cases, as well as their significance for issues such as gun control, racial justice, and the right to protest peacefully. The authors of this piece, though friends with similar values and commitments to criminal justice, don’t entirely agree about the results. But we agree that it was better for all Americans that these cases were litigated in public and that citizen jurors made the final decision.
