American jury system

In English class, we played a game following the rule of American jury system. That is the first time for me to get to know another verdict process besides lawyers’ decision.jury

A jury composes of 12 persons whose vacations are always unrelated with law. Facing the materials and opinions given in the court, ALL 12 members in jury must unanimously agree on whether someone is guilty or innocent. If the jurors cannot agree on a verdict, the case is tried again, in front of a new jury. Now jury system is operated in many parts of the United States.

This system is said to be the best and fairest way to find out what really happened. I have no all-round idea about it because of limited experience. But whatever to say, it will undoubtedly avoid corruption to some extent.
