I. Read the text. The jury system in Great Britain.
The jury system was imported to Britain after the Norman Conquest though its early functions were quite different from those it fulfils today. The first jurors acted as witnesses, providing information about local matters and were largely used for administrative business- gathering information for the Doomsday Book, for example, Later, under Henry II, the jury began to take on an important judicial function, moving from reporting on events they knew about, to deliberating on evidence produced by the parties involved in a dispute. Gradually it became accepted that a juror should know as little as possible about the facts of the case before the trial and this is the case today.
A major milestone in the history of the jury was Bushell’s Case (1670). Before this judges would try to bully juries into convicting the defendant, particularly where the crime had political overtones, but in Bushell’s Case it was established that the jury were the sole judges of fact, with the right to give a verdict according to their conscience, and could not be penalized for taking a view of the facts opposed to that of the judge. The importance of this power now is that juries may acquit a defendant even when the law demands a guilty verdict.
Today the jury is considered a fundamental part of the English legal system, though as we shall see, only a minority of cases are tried by jury. The main Act that now governs jury trial is the Juries Act 1974.
The juries have to weigh up the evidence and decide what are the true facts of the case – what actually happened. The judge directs them as to what is the relevant law and the jury then have to apply the facts to that law and thereby reach a verdict. If it is a criminal case and the jury have given a verdict of guilty, the judge will then decide on the appropriate sentence. In civil cases the jury decide on how much money should be awarded in damages. Despite the symbolic importance of juries in the criminal justice system, they actually decide only a tiny minority of cases. This is because juries only operate in the Crown Court, where just five per cent of criminal cases are heard. Of this five per cent, a high number will involve guilty pleas – 65 per cent of Crown Court defendants in 1993 pleaded guilty. The jury obviously has no rule in such cases. In addition there will be cases where the judge directs a jury that the law demands that they must acquit the defendant and others where defendants change their plea. The result is that juries only decide around one per cent of cases.
On the other hand, it's important to realize that even this one per cent amounts to 30.000 trials, and that these are usually the most serious ones to come before the courts -thought here too the picture can be misleading, since some serious offenses such as assaulting a police officer or drink-driving are dealt with only by magistrates while even the most trivial theft can be tried in the Crown Court if the defendant wishes.
