xp65 writes "NASA has invited Russia to carry out a joint manned flight to Mars, the head of NASA's Moscow office said on Tuesday. Russia is currently planning to send its own expedition to Mars some time in the future. Marc Bowman told an international aviation and space conference in Moscow that the Mars mission should take advantage of the achievements made by the International Space Station and use a multinational crew."

    Germany has a form of trial by jury: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_trial#Germany

    Most other countries have it too (in different forms, sure), so it still supports my point.

    "Russia? Only death penalty cases."

    That's wrong. Russia has no death penalty and trial by jury is available for most criminal cases (except terrorism).
