💨 Abstract
The article argues for the importance of jury trials in the criminal justice system, particularly for serious cases. It highlights that while jury trials may seem inefficient, they serve as a crucial check on state power and ensure that the public has a role in the justice process. The author contends that removing juries would concentrate power in the hands of the state, potentially leading to injustices.
