Section 1: If deemed by a party in a case that jury members are bias the judge will have to question that and will be required to remove the bias jury member. If there is a failure to do so the side affected can sue the judge IF the outcome if the case is not in there favor. Both sides can also re trial as long as the "deemed" bias jury members are banned from attending the trial. Section 2: If a jury member is wrongly deemed bias the person who removes them can be sued. However jury members must have the party member who said they were deemed bias in the court to testify. |

Not a very good idea. Their should atleast be a capacity to the amount of times they can do this.
(1) This would cause gridlock in the retrial (assuming the accused jury-member pleas not guilty to the bias accusation and sues) due to the fact there is no evidence which could be used to convict the defendant and no way to prove that a crime is being overlooked. (2) This would allow attorneys to manipulate the ruling in the end by forcing out all those jury-members who were selected randomly who did not support them before-hand and replacing them with those who do.
If this is actually being presented, I urge congress to debate and make adjustments, not just blindly pass this. |

Nay
It's a good intention, but it would only hinder court cases. The jury has to have a unanimous ruling, thus allowing them to debate the case until they can all agree. This could allow one juror with a particular stance to be removed without the possibility of them presenting viable facts and statements to the other jurors. At least that's how court cases are SUPPOSED to work, the way it works in USA might be f-ed up for all I know.
