You, too, are welcome to go and read a Wikipedia article or textbook about why we have juries. I replied originally because the article was bad and because people don't seem to consider why you might keep stuff from a jury. Having done that, if people still disagree, they are welcome to criticise the English legal system and its ordinary justifications without getting me to copy and paste them.

    Juries shouldn't only decide on what the law says and the facts, but also on their sense of justice applied to a specific case.

    No, I won't justify my answer. Go read a book

    If you can't justify it, I'm obviously not going to change my mind. I've read many books and done my own thinking. I'm sure it's a huge surprise that someone could have thought about something and come to a different conclusion than you

    You're welcome to go and read a Wikipedia article or textbook. I'm not going to do your work for you. Tired of explaining and justifying my position and I'll imply others are ignorant instead

    You're not listening:

    I’ve read many books and done my own thinking.

    Piss off if you're not going to read what I write.

    You think you're the only one who reads books and does their own thinking?
