            Jury Rights
            
             Beginning with the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution, the
             sixth amendment right, right to trial by peers or jury, has been enforced. Throughout
            
             history, the jury process has been used in various cases, whether a high-profile case or a
            
             state or local criminal case, juries have been the fundamental factors in considering
            
             whether or not a defendant is to be freed or sent for punishment. As time has progressed,
            
             however, the jury process has complicated, and juries have become more and more
            
             susceptible to coercion and corruption in the courtrooms, thus causing glitches and
            
             oftentimes costly errors in the United States' courts of law. From jury selection to juror
            
             lack of knowledge or even motivation, corruption and confusion has been present and has
            
             caused problems which can be avoidable and treated. Should the United States continue
            
             to exercise their right to trial by peers, or should they reconsider the proven mishaps and
            
             errors juries often make and eliminate the jury process altogether?
            
             As proven in the United States Constitution, a trial by jury is a given and required
            
             right to Americans encountering the law. As an amendment, Americans should then
            
             maintain that right as they do with other amendments, and should not necessarily be
            
             stripped from this right. As easily proven throughout various court cases, juries have
            
             proven to be successful in punishing the guilty and freeing the innocent, and have
            
             effectively exercised their right of trial by jury. In this regard, juries should thus be
            
             allowed to continue in courtrooms and made even more readily available for those who
            
             are in debt with the law.
            
             Although oftentimes proven accurate and successful, juries are faced with
            
             corruption and mistakes just as often. Cases where jurors have proven innocent and
            
             defendants have later plead guilty have occurred numerously,...
