I am being charge with a crime. I am going to trial before a jury. The only witnesses are three cops. They are all liars. If they continue to lie at the trial, can the judge throw out the case before it gets to the jury?
Not really. The purpose of a jury trial if for the jurors to decide who is lying or not lying. Your job, or your lawyers job is to convince the jury that the cops are liars. The DA's job is to convince the jury that the cops are telling the truth. That is the whole purpose of the jury system.

Lying Witness
5 comments:
definitely Lying witness is very bad job. A lot number of persons got death sentences on lying witness.I think psychologists should handle issue whether witness is correct or not.
the purpose of the jury is to tell if people are truthful. they are the trier of fact.
Very tough job and dangerous, yeah?
Hi
As a matter of fact these Lying witnesses often cause huge troubles for good people out there, I think judges needs to be tweaked and not decide until there is a psychologist there

Remember, judges don't decide facts unless a defendant allows the judge to decide a fact by waiving his right to a jury trial. Ultimately, the jury decides the facts, not the judge.
