  5. Re:another reason on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    When the original English legal system was designed, the jury of one's peers assumed that a noble would not be judged by a jury of commoners.

    in fact, i believe it was even a little stronger than that--you had the right to be judged by people of equal or higher "dignity" (rank), e.g. you couldn't have barons trying a duke.

  6. Re:another reason on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 3, Informative

    all americans are peers since none of us are nobles. (an irony, given how "peer" is used in england....) read some history sometime, it makes a lot of things make more sense.
