i heard on the news a while back(and several other times over the years) about a case where the judge "directs" the jury to a guilty or a not guilty verdict. what is the point of a jury being there if he/she has already decided the outcome. if i was on this sort of jury i thnk i would ask him why on earth i was there?

Newton hearing sound really crap
the old procedure was to plead not guilty and then dispute the facts
however

no new evidence and if there is conflict between prosecution and defence verssions then the defence is preferred

which I have to say doesnt sound bad
