CRJ 103 Week 1 – Discussion Explain what is the purpose of our jury system, some of the challenges that our jury system is now facing, and what can be done to increase public interest in serving on our juries, and should the power to punish someone possibly to death, be given to 12 ordinary citizens? The focus of the jury system is to ensure a fair and impartial trial of an accused is provided. The 6 th Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that individuals accused of a crime is tried by a local and impartial jury. However, for several years, the Supreme Court has decided that when and to what degree bias can be tolerated on a jury. The method used to select a jury (voir dire and peremptory challenges) should comply with the 6 th Amendment (Temme, 2022). A major challenge that our jury system faces is that it has become increasingly difficult to find individuals willing to serve on juries, because of different reasons, for example, not being interested, financial difficulties, and inconvenience. To enhance the public interest to serve juries, some states have implemented programs, for instance “jury duty leave” allowing employees to take time off from work without losing pay. The power to punish an individual possibly to death is given to 12 ordinary citizens in some states within the United States. The 6 th Amendment assures individuals accused of a crime are tried by a local and impartial jury. However, it is significant to note that jurors are not provided the power to determine if someone should be put to death. Instead, their responsibility is to determine if the defendant is guilty of the crime(s) charged (law.cornell.edu, n. d.). Temme, L. (2022). Jury selection and bias under the Sixth Amendment .
