Different systems
The law in the DR is based on the French system. No juries, all points of law.
It is impossible to implant a system based on the value of an individual, in a system where the
who you are is more important than the
what you are.
Besides, how can you change 500 years of custom? Just have a few more bribes to give out and it might be cheaper than a judge...
and, finally, where could you find 12 of my peers?
In the sense of the US justice system that would be easy, but here???
Love to see it tried, but not in my lifetime..
