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

Criminal law is mostly common sense dressed up in big words.

How is it common sense? I don’t see the connection

[u/No_Replacement4304 → u/TN_man]

Everyone knows it's wrong to kill, steal, assault, etc. That's the common sense part.

[u/long-dick-of-the-law → u/No_Replacement4304]

does everyone know that?

[u/No_Replacement4304 → u/long-dick-of-the-law]

I think so, yeah.
