Nämndemannasystemet is an embarrassment for Sweden

"Nämndemannasystemet is an embarrassment for Sweden"

"Unacceptable that the SD-juror took a position in advance"

"A sverigedemokratisk juror decided in advance to flygaktivisten Elin Ersson was guilty."

"When will parliament do something about the wretched system with politically appointed judges?"

"The young woman was sentenced a few weeks for the violation of the aviation act for his protest against that a man would be deported to Afghanistan."

"the other day revealed the Swedish newspaper svenska Dagbladet that one of the lay assessors already in the summer called" Ersson ”criminal” on Facebook."

"It is bad. Suspected persons shall, in a reasonably functioning rule of law is considered to be innocent until the contrary is proven. And a basic human right is to be brought before a judge who is neutral and objective, and not decided in the question of guilt in advance."

"Otherwise, there is no reason whatsoever to keep the trials."

"This juror, not surprisingly a member of The sweden democrats, distinguished himself also in the judgment. He was sentenced to 60 day fines, a reasonable and balanced punishment for a crime in the law is not considered to be worse than shoplifting, but he notified the dissenting."

"Juror demanded imprisonment on the grounds that the action was ”a pre-planned manifestation that has been a part of a political activity'."

"he amatördomares views on the appropriate punishment for activist is ideologically conditioned should not go to deny even in the debris to the sites now with a sloppy euphemistically called alternative media."

"People who commit crimes shall be sentenced to the punishment which the law and practice stipulates, not what the judge based on his political opinion like. That this principle should even be pointed out is not flattering to the current legal system."

"But it's not just about sverigedemokrater. It had been just as bad if a juror from the green Party wanted to absolve Ersson of ideological belief."

"This case is an unusually clear example of the shortcomings of politically appointed judges. It is, unfortunately, not an isolated incident."

"A study carried out at the School with 950 judgments as a basis showed that the risk of a person with an Arabic-sounding name for a duration increases by 17 percentage points if a sverigedemokrat is one of the judges."

"If the juror designated by the Left party was involved increased the likelihood of conviction in cases where the victim is a woman by 14 percentage points."

"And a study at Uppsala university shows that sverigedemokrater in migration cases is moderately interested in to change the rejection to approval, while the christian democrats are significantly fond of to do it."

"In virtually all comparable countries have systems where the public in one way or another are involved in the performance of the business. It is a good order. The courts should not be an internal matter for the lawyers."

"But most of the other democracies also have wit enough to restrict politicians' power to make laws and to keep them as far from the sentencing as possible. Political judgments are such as countries with less friendly regimes engaged in."

"Nämndemannainstitutet must be done about. The current system is an embarrassment for Sweden."
