The idea is not that science or some "expert" judges those under trial. It's that the society they live in finds them either guilty or not. Jury's are representatives of what the society things happened. It's an extremely democratic institution, and juries and their role they have been devised and praised by "trained people" including the very best legal minds. Of course it's not fool prouf -- the same ways society and laws are not foul prof (e.g. consider racism). But those for things, an expert wouldn't help either. |
