Class :4C

Today, I was selected as a possible juror (someone who performs jury duty). However, the court decided that they already had enough jurors. Part of me wishes that I could have participated in the case to see what it is like in the courtroom. However, part of me is glad that I don't have to miss class (because of my wonderful students and also the money).
In America, the legal system includes lawyers, judges, and jurors. How does the legal system work in your country? Who decides whether a person is innocent or guilty?

THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN MY COUNTRY

In my country, the legal system is same in the US. There are jurors, judges and lawyers in a court. Besides, there are some people whom they have a relative with defendant, prosecutor or they want to enjoin. When someone does wrong something that is serious or dangerous to community, they will be wrongdoers and are trialed by legal system. In the court, there will have jurors, judges, lawyers, defendant, prosecutor and some another people. Then, prosecutor and defendant will explain about themselves in order every one believe them. Defendant is not only having lawyer but prosecutor is also having lawyer. Lawyers are people that they try getting successful for their clients. Maybe, lawyer is very excellent, wrongdoers can fall a little crime or their client wins in the court. After that, the judge and juror listen and ask defendant, prosecutor or wrongdoer, they will discuss together about in fact. Finally, the judge will show penalty for wrongdoer or a lose person’s case. If they do not agree with judge’s penalty, they will have to appeal. In this case, the judge and juror will trial to have the last penalty.
