Jury and Law in the 1 9th Century Lozère
If, along the XlXth century, the Presidents of the Assize Court in Lozère denounce the excesses of criminal law when carried out by jurymen hardly disposed to comply with the legal limits of their duties, they reveals, along with the accounts of judges to the Justice Department, the strategy developed around different trials. They make it clear then that the new institution of jury action at court, carried on by the propertied classes only, brings the exercice of justice under such social influence as every crime is judged from a subjective point of view only. Therefore, the verdict is the result of findings based upon the social status of both the defendant and the victim and their social environment at large. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
