Bad!
Now judges has the dutyto express why the decided in one way and not in other way. This alliw you to show when they have prejudices (racism, for example). A jury does not have to explain that they founf him guilty because he was poor, dark or whatever.
Actually if you're the defendant I'm assuming you probably only have to find a way to bribe one of them. You have 12 opportunities to find someone who is easier to bribe or intimidate than a judge making $60000/month who has constant police protection.In a country where judges are constantly bribed and threatened, a jury is a good thing. It is much harder to bribe and threaten a whole jury panel. Also, a group of people together is more likely to make the right decision than just one person. Personally, I think one of the major problems with the system here is that it is too judge centered.
Just out of curiosity, how would you rate the Argentine education system for imparting clear, rational, objective critical thinking and analysis? For example if a very attractive Argentina woman accused you of rape and you were innocent, would you be relieved to have a jury trial here, or not?
