How many jury can make you not guilty?
Unless there is a mistrial or a new trial is ordered after a conviction is appealed, there is only one trial per defendant per set of charges. An acquittal (finding of "not guilty") cannot be appealed. This is the same whether the trial is heard by a judge (a bench trial) or a jury.

What was ancient Rome's greatest contribution to western political?
Ancient Rome gave us so many political concepts that its nearly impossible to single out one as the greatest. However the closest one to being the greatest (in my opinion) is the concept that people are innocent until proven guilty. From this notion comes the right to a trial, right of appeal, right to a defense, etc.Ancient Rome gave us so many political concepts that its nearly impossible to single out one as the greatest.

Why is there more to risk at a criminal trial than at a civil trial?
If found guilty at a criminal trial it can lead to having to serve jail or prison time and will result in your getting a lifelong criminal record which can affect MANY aspects of your future life. Being found guilty at a civil trial carries no jail or prison time and although it can result in a monetary fine or forfeiture of property, it bears no lifelong record to cause you problems in the future.

What happens when a person pleads guilty to a charge?
The court does not assume that you are necessarily guilty just because you plead guilty; there are many cases of innocent people who plead guilty, usually because of some mental illness. A delusional person may believe that he or she is guilty of something that he or she did not actually do. So, the case is still investigated, the evidence is still examined, and the person who pleaded guilty might still be acquitted. However, a guilty plea does constitute some degree of evidence, and it may lead to a guilty verdict, even for a person who is actually innocent. It depends upon what other evidence is available, and upon the care with which the court is handling the trial. It is unfortunately the case that sometimes the police and the prosecutor are just happy to convict someone, whether that person is guilty or not. It counts as a successful prosecution, that someone is found guilty.
What is the longest criminal trial in us history?
The McMartin Preschool Abuse Trial, Los Angeles County (1987 to 1990). It was also the most expensive trial in US history for the prosecution - $15 million. No one was found guilty, but the lives of the defendants were irreparably damaged, and many children were emotionally harmed.
Is officer Wilson guilty?
You are found guilty through due process of the law, usually by a jury. Officer Wilson has not been brought to trial, though he has been condemned by a large portion of the population, many that are relying on rumors and speculation rather than facts.
Why are so many cases decided without a trial?
Usually because many civil cases, ordnance violations, traffic infractions, and misdemeanors, do not qualify for jury trial, and/or the defendant pleads guilty, or their defense attornies request a non-jury hearing/trial by the judge alone. Additionally, taking a case to a trial is often very expensive and time consuming. With the advice of experienced counsel, most people have a good idea of how their case is likely to turn out after a trial. With that information, most litigants or criminal defendants are willing to accept an offer that is similar to what they would expect after trial.
