Seeking Justice For The Innocent

Sunday Commentary: Our Jury System, Innocence and Ajay Dev

Below is a quote from a commentary regarding the jury system in the Davis Vanguard.

"...We like to believe that juries are sacrosanct and that the process works, but we still end up with innocent people put behind bars for years based on all sorts of flaws - some, such as in the case just mentioned, intentional, others unintentional.

So, when I hear things like the juror decided he was guilty based on his response to some pretext question - which does not even take into account potential cultural reactions to discussion of sex - it concerns me."
