Union Jury

AKA Federal Jury

A jury of 12 Union Citizens (Randomly chosen for every trial) who decide guilt or innocence. They also recommend sentences in accordance with Union Law.

Pleas such as innocent due to insanity, temporary insanity or doing things under influence of intoxicating substances do not exist under Union Law.[1] Neither does age, race, gender or circumstances have any bearing. All these factors may be argued but have no base in the law.

A Union Jury can consider such and any other arguments on a case by case basis.[2]

Notes:
[1] This does not mean external influence like Psionics, involuntarily administered drugs. Union medicine does not recognize temporary insanity. A base condition must exist.

[2] If your child commits a crime and it is argued it is too young to understand right from wrong, then the parents or legal guardians are guilty of the crime, by failing their supervision duties and thus providing the child with the tools and the opportunity to commit the crime. So the argument of juvenile crime has long ceased to exist and Union Children are generally raised on a set of basic morals. There are surprisingly few Parents or legal guardians who want to face criminal charges for their children.
