9 days agoIn Brazil, only murder cases go to jury trial, but even then, it’s very different from the US. Here, jurors can interview witnesses and there’s no deliberations between them, they go one at a time to a room with the presiding judge and cast a secret ballot, simple majority convicts or not. All other crimes are decided by the judge from the bench.
Oh, and our judges don’t use gavels…
Let me be pedantic for a while. Ema (Rhea Americana) is not exotic, it’s a native bird of South America.
