The Importance of Juries
Posted: 07-15-11Category:
“A jury made up of 12 unbiased citizens of all walks of life and backgrounds who are brought together for a single purpose is the smallest, most local, and only incorruptible form of government we have. The foundation of our system of justice is based on empowering those citizens to listen to the evidence and reach a decision based on the facts and the law in an open, public forum. We must cherish and protect that.” Alex Winslow. Taken from an Op Ed Piece in today’s Houston Chronicle
