Best Answer

A jury of your peers is a fairly new concept. An early innovator was King Henry II. The problem in courts before then was that just one person was sentencing people or making a decision. This represented one viewpoint or opinion and the quality of evidence required was not as important. Juries are a cornerstone of the Bill of Rights and guilt must be determined beyond a reasonable doubt.
