all purely host, court basically is controlled both sides (defense lawyer or lawyers and prosecutors) confrontation against some minor criminal cases, lawyers for both sides but also their consultation mediation, the judge confirmed after the entry into force.And that fact and legal victory or defeat is composed by ordinary people's jury, the judge will according to the jury decided to immediately make a court decision.During the trial jury member in the case, will be quarantined in hotels, not watch TV read newspaper meeting visitors, rest period shall also communicate the case, to avoid being influenced by outside influence and mutual.
·
American law at the beginning of that adhere to the "passive justice and judicial independence principle", in order to avoid harmful interference in any judge, very taboo "and the masses become integrated with, also very taboo" legal "initiative", so the judge naturally became the "personal social life the most narrow the most low-key" crowd.
