Populist America's commentary:

The Sixth Amendment is familiar to many Americans as comprising a large part of Miranda, the advisory of rights to criminal suspects by arresting law enforcement officers. The amendment was crafted by the founders as insurance of sorts. They wished to provide that no one be punished for a crime without presentation of evidence sufficient to convince a group of unrelated people that he or she is, indeed, guilty. In this way, it was hoped that such motivators for accusation as jealously or revenge would be curbed. In large part, the founders were successful.

How’s the speedy part working these days?

[theBuckwheat]

In some ways the jury is an independent branch of government because for a person to be convicted of a crime, the government's accusation must be vetted by two juries of citizens, the grand and the petit jury.

This is why a Fully Informed Jury is so essential to restrain a government that has exceeded its limits as well as to insure that the guilty are punished while the innocent go free.
