Do you know why? Personally I think it is something great! By the people for the people... how is delegation to a judge better? It adds a single point of failure...
Imagine the chance to be judged by a brain dead idiot like you luls.
Now understand why only the united states have it?
Haha
Canada, Australia, Britain, and India have it as well. People need to wake up and use it to put down the evil people in their governments.
I looked it up and what you said is wrong.
India has no trial by jury since 1973. The other states have trial by jury for special cases e.g. defamation (UK) or murder (canada) or have a court of lay assessors for minor offences (austria/germany).
The US american trial by jury is unique in the world.
When you find "Queens Bench" in Canada, Britain, and Australia, you will find that there is trial by jury that cannot be denied to anyone choosing to use Queens Bench.
India has simply made access to Queens Bench very difficult. But it is still there, held over from the time of British rule.
Austria and Germany, and other civil law countries, may have the jury trial, but they don't have jury nullification. It is statute law jury trial, where the jury is required to judge according to the law rather than having the ability to judge the law itself, as in America.
The American jury is unique only in the ease of access that people have to using it. Canada, Britain, Australia, India, Bangladesh, and a few small additional countries have it.
