Hmm.
Judge only trial.
Not proved beyond reasonable doubt.

Breakfast radio goes to court

Madonna King, host of ABC Brisbane 612 Mornings, had an interesting programme on Wednesday. I listened as best I could, but you can now download the programme in three parts and listen from the ABC site.

A hypothetical case where a woman, out for the evening and after a few drinks, is driving and has a car accident in which another driver is seriously injured and his passenger is killed. The court case is the woman's. There are many other factors in the case. There was a jury of 140 people at the court.

I found it interesting. From what I heard I decided that the hypothetical accused could not be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the charge against her.

What do you think?

Listen here, the links are at the bottom left hand side under the awful picture of Madonna King labelled 612 Mornings court broadcast - Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

Let me know what you think and why, and I will explain why I made my decision. It's an interesting exercise in learning how impartial and objective people can be.
