Court proceedings may change in Ukraine — TSN Exclusive

In fact, the jury trial has been operating in Ukraine since 2012.

A jury trial may appear in Ukraine, which Ukrainians have seen more than once in the news about American trials. This is the so-called Anglo-Saxon model. Jurors in it are completely separated from the court and determine the guilt of the accused themselves. The updated draft law that brings this model to Ukraine was approved by the People's Deputies in the first reading.

This is stated in the story of TSN correspondent Oleksandr Romaniuk.

At first, they could not form a panel, then former law enforcement officers appeared among the jurors.
