However, you might want to rewrite your first an second sentence - "Consider the possible outcomes if we allow for personalities to take precedence over evidence in trials. This could lead to many citizens having unfairly tried cases" - because I believe that as long as people are judging other people, this statement cannot be accurate since all of us have personalities. I think you should think of another word to replace personality like 'ideologies' or 'values' etc. However, this leads to another problem: as much as 'personalities' are bad in the attempt to be objective, human reasoning based on values are also critical for judgment. We don't place a computer to judge us simply because it lacks the human reasoning and moral reasoning. In the same way, although we need objectivity, we need morality, values and wisdom, which are very much embedded in 'personalities' of judges and juries. A contradiction there i guess.Yeo!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17427857097020530126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636639242543972736.post-64066448897535061252007-11-02T13:24:00.000-07:002007-11-02T13:24:00.000-07:00Like Jan I haven't read all your posts together so...Like Jan I haven't read all your posts together so it takes reading awhile into your post before the audience can figure out what point you're trying to argue. I think you should dive into the issue sooner and use a lot of what is your current intro to explain the topic afterwards. <BR/><BR/>And on the actual issue: I definitely see how the "glitch" jury can make be extremely useful in curbing jury bias. However, in such cases like West Memphis 3, where the whole town had an overwhelming consensus of the boys' guilt, a second jury wouldn't make a difference at all. I think there would also have to be additional assurances in the glitch jury to ensure they don't share the same biases as the original.hanghanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260098876742766613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636639242543972736.post-51795807123454822922007-11-02T11:46:00.000-07:002007-11-02T11:46:00.000-07:00Your argument is very sound but I personally thoug...Your argument is very sound but I personally thought that the introduction was little confusing but that may be because I haven't read all of your posts consecutively. The ideas that you present are excellent yet I feel like you squashed the idea of the glitch jury immediately after you presented it. Perhaps you could let the reader consider whether or not such a system would work, rather than saying in your own argument that it probably wouldn't.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053329937888366556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636639242543972736.post-65755945457385570032007-11-01T15:25:00.000-07:002007-11-01T15:25:00.000-07:00You pose a very interesting idea of a "glitch" jur...You pose a very interesting idea of a "glitch" jury. I agree that if a jury did not have to make a verdict they would think in a much different way than an actual jury. They will probably have an opportunity to view the case more rationally considering all viewpoints and will not feel as pressured by officials and media. It will also be very advantageous for the second jury to hear even confidential parts of the case that is usually not heard by the actual jury. However, there is a possibility that the second jury not take the case seriously because they do not determine the verdict. I would also advise that the "glitch" jury be confidential in order for their role in the case to be more effective.Behind The Lenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034713441838117488noreply@blogger.com
