Trial by jury is becoming a thing of the past. Its increasingly rare for cases to go to trial. In many cases, judges and prosecutors will threaten more harsh sentencing if defendants opt for their right to a trial. Why are trials so rare now? Because there are so many laws, so many cases and so many people going to prison that the justice system cannot keep pace. We have more people in prison in the US than any other country on earth and more than the Soviet Union had in its Siberian gulags.
