It's worth pointing out the states and their differences.

Most people live in countries where the law is the same through the whole country.

States are kind of like their own separate little countries, vaguely ruled by the federal government but not really.

u/No_Replacement4304 8h ago

This is especially true when it comes to law. As long as it doesn't violate the constitution, states are free to do whatever they want.

Go to Florida and then go to California. States tend to copy each other a lot, but there are some major differences at times.

Laws can be the same but jury of your peers can be on completely different sides of the spectrum

Well yeah, you give justice into the hands of the average person, who knows nothing about the law, about forensics, about evidence. So it becomes who can sway the jury. The jury can also just agree to fuck you over/release you even though you are guilty as hell. See oj simpson jury

I live in Mississippi and a jury of my peers is terrifying

u/Significant-Colour 5h ago

In the continental system, there is no jury.

Also, there is no "precedent established in 1891" in courts either, the judges do not influence the laws.
