Trial by Jury

LOL the system had been rigged for generations so that only about five percents of people charge with a crime get a jury trial.

From the very high cost of mounting a real defend [three or so millions in the case of Zimmerman] and then the overcharging to made the risk guilt or innocent to demand a trial too high for most people and if possible not granting bail so someone is looking at a year or more in any case behind bars.

To sum up the right for a jury trial is in over 9 out to ten times a sad joke.

The other 95% plead guilty or plead not guilty but ask for a judge trial?

I think the cost of a real defense could be high with a judge trial also. I guess the jury trial would be more expensive.

I wonder of those who plead not guilty and demand a trial, how many demand a judge trial and how many a jury trial.

As to granting of bail, I think it is the same whether judge trial or jury trial.

Plead deals...............

If any larger percents of those charge with a crime would demand a trial by jury of judge the whole so call justice system would collapse.
