Under British and Australian laws a jury in a criminal case has no access to information about the defendant's past criminal record. This protects the person who is being accused of the crime. Some lawyers have suggested that this practice should be changed and that a jury should be given all the past facts before they reach their decision about the case. Do you agree or disagree?

People who live under the law of British and Australia often debate regarding the possible

. Many people suggest that the

could deviate the

, a

would able to make a better decision if the past

are available. It prevents the criminal to escape from punishment.

To begin

with, the advocates of British and Australian law have argued that the

Jury

has to verify and evaluate each

case

individually. The persons' old

records

should not impact the decision of the Judge and the confidentiality of respondents' details should be preserved. A famous road traffic accident

case

Use synonyms

of Mr Roy Johndon in New York, 2015 is a good example of

this

. Having an idea of a person who had minor charges on drunken drive 10 years ago has influenced the

Jury

's

judgment

without verifying the current evidence of drunken drive. Mr John was sentenced to prison for 10 years for a murder charge. The

case

was re-opened after his wife's appeal to the high court where justice is served and he was released. Because the

Jury

had

access

to his old police report, an innocent man has suffered for 3 years in prison.

On the other hand

, scholars in civil administration have said knowing one person's past will aid a better

judgment

during trials. It is quite clear when a criminal investigator was arrested for the rape of a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Sydney in 2018, the

Jury

had delivered a

judgment

based on the current circumstance. The officer was released and he killed the fourth victim while raping at his apartment and the neighbours witnessed the horrifying death of a young girl. There were two other school girls who had complaints against

particular officer for rape charges in the past.

However

, there were no data available during the

first

trial, the psychopath officer had his freedom to thrive in his crime. The death of a young girl would have prevented if the system of justice allowed to have the

access

to criminal

records

Use synonyms

. In conclusion, In spite of the negative impact that has caused by knowing persons' previous criminal reports, there are greater benefits when serving fair

judgment

.

Therefore

Linking Words

, I strongly disagree with the British and Australian laws where there are no available particulars about the suspect's old crime. The details of the litigant's history are a vital fact when the

Jury

gives the final verdict.
