正在研究怎麼上法庭去免除那張交通罰單,一上來就碰到這個問題。
jury trial or judge trial按題意, jury trial 應該是陪審團(也就是普通百姓)說了算, judge trial應該是法官說了算。 但聽到現在, 好象上交通法庭的都是法官說了算的啊,沒聽說過陪審團啊。
要說讓我選的話, 我會選jury trial, 我覺得陪審員更會向著人民, 法官就難說了,只能碰運氣了。
我現在想證明那位警察執法時根本就是心不在焉,地點都寫錯,罰單應該無效,他說的我在校區內超速是他弄錯了,我在校區內沒有超速, 他測的速度已經在校去外,他是在校區外250 Feet外測速,攔下我的。
這樣子,好象該選jury trial。 誰有這樣的經驗?
