“Right now, more than 90% of criminal cases are already handled by magistrates. Is it really necessary to erode that last 10%? Trial by your peers should mean something if we still claim to live in a functioning society. Juries bring balance and perspective. They represent the public’s voice. Removing them from even more cases not only undermines confidence in justice but cuts off the community from its rightful role.”
