Replace juries for domestic abuse and homicide cases with professional panels

We think it defeats the purpose of lengthy and costly investigations to prove a case beyond reasonable doubt, only to hand final verdicts to jurors who can be swayed by first impressions and personal bias. Domestic abuse and homicide cases can be complex by nature, involve coercive control and trauma responses that are easily misread, and we believe a trauma-informed panel would ensure fairer, safer justice for all.
