(4,462 posts)as is apparent from my other posts, particularly since jurors are often minority and poor, I'm far more curious what solutions you actually suggest and what practical justice system, run by real and imperfect human beings, could possibly satisfy you concerns? Your analysis seems to ultimately render everyone, regardless of class, race, gender, etc., as no different than their "white male predecessors (sic)" (I assume you mean oppressors) and their "power structure."
It almost sounds as if you believe that some grand communist or anarchist revolution needs to sweep through the land, and it will change human nature itself. Or, on a less grand scope, do you propose altering the fundamentals of much of western jurisprudence, such as eliminating the presumption of innocence, right to an attorney, guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, due process, trial be jury, etc.?
