Would you be in favor of bringing the jury system back to the Indian courts?
Are you familiar with the case of Nanavati vs. The State of Maharashtra? Even though the case was an open and shut case, the jury declared Commander Nanavati as not guilty. Wouldn’t that have been a miscarriage of justice? As in this case, is the jury not likely to be influenced or misled by popular media?
Why do you say a jury trial is “the least flawed compromise”?
