Video - The Jury System in Ancient Greece

Did you know that the ancient Greeks used the jury method of trial? Citizens would serve as jurors and decide the guilt or innocence of the accused based on evidence presented. But here's the twist - jurors had to make their decision without any legal training or guidance! Imagine being judged by a group of your peers, some of whom may not have a clue about the law. It was a risky gamble for both the accused and the accuser, as the outcome of the trial depended on the whims of the jury. Talk about a high-stakes game of justice!
