Jury Trial
EDM number 951 in 2002-03, proposed by Robert Marshall-Andrews on 25/03/2003.
That this House reaffirms its faith in Jury Trial for serious criminal cases as an essential cornerstone of British liberty; recognises that it provides a unique example of the responsibilities of citizenship; rejects the unfounded and unsubstantiated allegation that jurymen and women cannot comprehend complex factual issues; and recognises that procedures and powers already exist to distil issues and shorten trials in serious fraud cases and to guard against rare attempts to tamper with juries.
This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
