Resumen
PELLEJERO, Nancy Carina Vernengo. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IN THE UNITED STATES JUSTICE AND THE POSSIBLE APPLICATION IN THE SPANISH JURY MODEL. Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito [online]. 2021, n.13, pp.303-318. Epub 08-Sep-2022. ISSN 2183-6396. https://doi.org/10.19135/revista.consinter.00013.14.
The jury is one of the main procedural institutions of the American justice; and it’s especially linked to the judicial independence and the U.S. Constitution. In this study we focus on one of the prerogatives recognized to the accused: “waiver of jury trial”, or the right to choose to be judged by a professional jury and not by a non-professional one, and the possibility of implementing this institution in the Spanish legal system, as we face a law reform in the Criminal Procedural Law, as well as on the Jury Law Act of 1995 by the Criminal Procedural Law Bill of 2020.
