All nations within the Anglosphere (US, UK, CA, AU & NZ) have JD imposed towards citizens. I know that the US & Canada both inherited that from Britain, which explains why they have it. However, should it be entirely only the judge making the conviction (some countries operate on a lay-judge system meaning juries aren't used, such as Finland or Japan for example) rather than leaving that decision up to jurors?

and 12 jurors that are easily manipulated as well. just like recent one where the women were hellbent on being sjw by allowing the murderder to go free, just because shes a mom. and others like having jurors dumb enough to believe in rittenhouse or his lawyers.
