Pros And Cons Of Being A Jury
EDITORIAL: Make the jury more diverse
By: Elizabeth Del Carmen, January 19, 2017
By allowing a certain selected amount of people to be a jury I do not feel as if though we are promoting an environment that does not discriminate. This will further help create a divide between the country, and that is not something that we want to increase.
How is it that only white males are allowed to contribute to the community if they have a set mind about certain subjects. As seen in the Tom Robinson trial the all white jury would have rather sent a man to death than to admit that Tom had not committed a crime.
This is something that we cannot allow to fester in our country any longer. Our great and strong country is going to fall apart if we cannot
acknowledge others without looking at the pigmentation of their skin. As such we must try and provide equal rights for everyone, if not in an everyday situation then at least in the eyes of the law we must all be equal, and try not to be prejudice so we give everyone equal treatment in the jury.
To be equal we have to accept all kinds of races and sexes into the jury. We cannot simply exclude a group that contributes to the community because we dislike them or have different perspectives. In the eyes of the law it is of great importance that we all be treated fairly with rights.
This is why I ask for people to vote for letting everyone be part of a jury so we can create a stronger community that does not exclude a certain group or person.
