Ensure the fundamental right to a jury trial for every criminal case.

Trial by jury is a fundamental safeguard against state overreach and the potential for a single judge's bias to lead to a miscarriage of justice. It ensures the public retains a vital role in the justice system. Removing this right for a vast number of cases erodes public trust and disproportionately endangers minorities and marginalized groups, who are more vulnerable to systemic bias. This policy weakens justice, reduces liberty, and creates a less fair and less democratic society for all.
