    Hate to break it to you but most of EU doesn’t do jury trials at all. Calling this authoritarian is dumb as fuck

      Maybe look at the context surrounding why they are getting rid of them and the differences in legal systems across EU members.

        What are you talking about? Canada has jury trials.

        www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/just/12.html

        anyone charged with a criminal offence for which there can be a prison sentence of five years or more has the right to a trial by jury
