The injustices done by a jury of peers who are certain beyond reasonable doubt can be seen from Christ's trial under Pilot clear through the Salem witch trials and into the present day. What's newer is the incentivized nature of the American criminal justice system. Until people are educated enough to be aware of their own fallibility and psychological biases, and the fallacies inherent in human cognition more generally such instances of state sponsored injustice will continue. I shudder when I hear calls to always believe the victim, not because victims do not deserve justice, but because injustice done by the state, legitimized by a jury of peers, is nothing more than tyranny.
