Court upholds death sentence for child rape

2: The Jury are in a separate booth outside the courtroom. They get all the information pertinent to the case but they do not have access of the identity of the accused or the accusers. This way they won't be biased by names, race, famous faces, or religion.

terrible idea. witness reactions to questions/comments are crucial to jury members' ability to discern truth from lie. most people don't lie well, and it is often easy to tell from their facial expressions, body language, etc.

That may be so, but it doesn't make a fair and unbiased trial.

so you make a trial biased for 99.9% of the population based on the 0.1% that are famous or live life as grifters? people toss around the concepts of bias and fair so often they fail to realize that there is no such thing as "completely unbiased" or "fair for everybody." societal laws and practices are meant to cover the majority of circumstances, not all. the tighter you close the system, the easier it is to find loopholes which result in completely undesirable results.

 

sometimes your logic defies, sand.
