'The British Parliament is in the process of abolishing the right to trial by jury.'
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: The British Parliament is in the process of abolishing the right to trial by jury. The
law, which seems about to pass, removes a jury trial for defendants
whose crimes are punishable by a sentence of three years or less. Instead
of a jury of one’s peers, a judge will determine a defendant’s
innocence or guilt. Next the cutoff will be 5 years, then ten, then
jury trial will disappear, and England will return to the Dark Ages. The
appointed judge will decide according to the wishes of he who rules.
The reason the Labour government gives for abolishing trial by jury
is an 80,000 case backlog that is choking the British justice system, a
backlog that the Labour government says will rise to 200,000 in 9 years.
So, first British governments for decades allowed massive numbers of
third world immigrant-invaders into Britain, many of whom turned out to
be practitioners of crime. Their crimes, many of which are never
prosecuted such as the 180,000 gang-rapes of British girls covered up by
British governments for 30 years, overwhelmed the ability of the court
system to process, and the solution is to abolish trial by peers, one of
Britain’s greatest contributions to justice.
