The (lack of a) Jury

Posted by: Karen on May 10, 1996 at 00:12:42:

I've just been reading in 'The Case' about how the McLibel
defendants were not allowed to have a jury because the issues
involved were 'too complicated' for ordinary people to understand.

If ordinary people can't understand them, how the hell are Helen
and David s'pposed to cross-examine world experts on the subject?
Surely they deserve to have legal representation on this point
alone.

I'm sending them 20 quid, but they're not going to be able to
buy a lawyer with that.
