Reliability for jury, not police, to decide - former High Court judge tells tri…

Of course a former judge would say that. They’re all part of the same old boys’ club. Jury’s not gonna convict their mates.

James O’Brien2026-07-06T08:14:52.000Z

Facts. Can't be letting the cops be judge and jury.

Honestly, I trust the jury more than the cops these days. Too many bad apples in the force.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-06T08:57:52.000Z

they barely understand the law. But sure, trust them over professionals.

James O’Brien2026-07-06T08:09:52.000Z

Yeah nah the police have lost all credibility. If they can't be honest, they don't deserve to decide anything for us.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-06T08:22:52.000Z

So we're just supposed to believe a judge who's probably mates with half the legal system? Righto.

Aria Wilson2026-07-06T09:29:52.000Z

Exactly. People watch too many crime shows and think they know better than actual legal principles.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-06T08:50:52.000Z

But what if the jury's biased too? Not saying the cops are saints, but there's no perfect system.

the 'professionals' are the ones on trial. Bit rich.

Aria Wilson2026-07-06T08:57:52.000Z

This is exactly what we studied in law101. Judge is right – reliability is for the jury. People need to understand the basics.

Finn Walker2026-07-06T09:23:52.000Z

detective on trial for obstructing justice. But sure, they're the experts.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-06T09:48:52.000Z

you're right, there's no perfect system. But jury's closer to 'justice' than a bunch of mates covering each other.

Mia Carter2026-07-06T09:12:52.000Z

Trust the jury? Have you seen some of the clowns that get called up? I'd rather have a panel of trained officers.

Finn Walker2026-07-06T09:27:52.000Z

At least the jury isn't paid to protect their mates. Gotta give them a chance to do the right thing.

Mia Carter2026-07-06T10:03:52.000Z

luck convincing me that Karen from the dairy is a better judge of character than a seasoned detective.

Ella Thompson2026-07-06T09:36:52.000Z

I just don't understand how this is even controversial. Of course the jury should decide credibility. That's basic justice.
