Curing the Mistrial Evil

Backed largely, by bar associations, movement Is
gaining Roadway in California 10 strike at the rights OF
fair trial thru constitutional amendments under which
threefourhs vote of jurors In criminal cases would mean
definite verdict and judges be permitted TO comment as
they pleased the facts In a case.
The movement grows out of the disgust over the TO
peated mstrias in such as the Arbuce and Hollywood
murder but the proposed remedy than the
disease
Surely an accused Is not guilty beyond reasonable
doubt when convicted by a three-fourths vote Of the
Jury and surely judges already possess assuming
all the powers that the American conception Of impair
TALLY and justice stand
Proponents Of the propositions argue that the three
fourths rule already prevails In civil and that jurors
are often confused as to the facts stupid In under
standing of them Justice has hardly yet got down to
recognizing difference between issue 10 whether
John Doe has or has full title hog and issue In
which the life Of human being Is at stake and II jures
not to determine the facts of by and for themselves
there's no sense whatever in having juries
The trouble lies In the makeup of jures. At rule,
with mighty few exceptions, jures largely made up

vcons of sort and don't have any experience in deal
