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?

In British and Australia, a
judge

can'
t
Use synonyms
get permission to know the previous criminal
history
Use synonyms
of the accused person which resulted in the protection of the defendant.
Consequently
Linking Words
, it is suggested by some lawyers that
this
Linking Words
culture ought to be changed and a
judge
Use synonyms
should be provided all the previous records before achieving their final comment about the case. In my opinion, I
also
Linking Words
agreed with the suggestion given by some judges. On one hand, the court doesn'
t
Use synonyms
give access to past information of defendants to the
Judge
Use synonyms
to make a final
decision
Use synonyms
. Sometimes past events may affect the
judge
Use synonyms
's negative views and thinking ability on the people who accused of the case but actually he/she not.
For instance
Linking Words
, suppose a person who was involved with a
crime
Use synonyms
before coincidently but
this
Linking Words
person doesn'
t
Use synonyms
commit any
crime
Use synonyms
at
this

time. In
this
Linking Words
scenario, if a
judge
Use synonyms
takes the
decision
Use synonyms
based on the previous
history
Use synonyms
, it might be inaccurate and punish an innocent one.
However
Linking Words
, know the other crimes would help the
judge
Use synonyms
sometimes to give a more precise
decision
Use synonyms
and prevent misunderstandings.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, it is perceived by some judges that they must need to know the past facts to make a final
decision
Use synonyms
about the accused people.
Although
Linking Words
the
decision
Use synonyms
should be based on the present
crime
Use synonyms
and present laws rules, sometimes it is really difficult to know the nature of accused people without knowing his/her past
crime
Use synonyms
.
For example
Linking Words
, suppose a robbery has been done by a group of the gang in a country but the police couldn'
t
Use synonyms
catch them at the spot. In
this
Linking Words
case, the
judge
Use synonyms
must need to know the previous
history
Use synonyms
of these types of crimes to make a final
decision
Use synonyms
. In conclusion, there are different ideas in court and laws where a
judge
Use synonyms
can play a role based on the situation.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, knowing the past
history
Use synonyms
is the most important part to make a final
decision

about a
crime

.
