Is The American Jury System Review Necessary?

By Ida Dorsey


The judicial system has been widely discussed in virtually all social media platforms as well as the televisions and radios, the reason behind this up rise is attributed to the rising crime rate and the fact that the criminals are let to walk scot-free. The law is known to be firm and it is rarely altered thus many individuals are getting out on mere technicalities and the blame is heaped on the juries. The American jury system review has been adopted to make some changes and improvements on some of the laws that are no longer applicable and also concur with the changing times.

Some bills like the crime bill is meant to curb the increase rate of burglary and murder that is being experienced all over the country, the bill will add more powers to the police as well as be more tough when it comes to the punishment of the crimes. Some of the laws have been questioned over the years since they did not conform to the recent times thus they ought to be reviewed and reconfigured.

It is logical to be against the criticizing of the legal system because it is very hard to acquire another one but it can be altered and improved to fit in the recent times. As a matter of fact many people are shying of from juries since gangs and other affiliations are making their lives unbearable because the law cannot touch them.

The punishments that the judicial system offer should be specific and on point not ranges of years because they do sound very absurd from a citizens point of view, more importantly plea bargains and parole more or less make mockery to the judgements offered. The difference between the law and justice is not noticeable any more since judgment is being passed in regard to the personality of the individual.

Justice can be administered, discussed and conveyed easily via the internet thanks to the new technology, crucial information can be obtained as quickly as it is needed. Every individual can get the information easily since the internet offers a wide platform for all kinds of resources.

Cyber crimes and the dependency of computers is one aspect that has made law and justice more complex and hard to manoeuvre than normally, evidence can also be acted through animated programs to make it easier to decipher. For the illiterate or rather people with significantly less education, the judgement can be translated to words that can easily be understood right from the jury.

Problems change and so does the methods used to solve them, thus some of the ways used to administer justice should be changed since they not only sound absurd but also very illogical. Some of the crimes faced in the last century differ slightly from this century crimes thus new ways should be devised to solve them.

Change is inevitable since every aspect of life is bound to alter over a period of time, the changes that are made are, in most occasions, meant to cope with the times and requirements that are brought up. The judicial system should not be an exception since it is one field that affects each and every citizen in a particular country or nation.
