I wish I could find an English version of this story, but Argentina is debating whether to institute the use of juries in certain federal cases involving manslaughter (such as deaths resulting from assaults) and crimes committed by public officials. Growing up in the U.S., it's almost hard to believe that juries are not used in every democratic country. The measure is being pushed by a citizen, the father of Alex Blumberg, a young man kidnapped for ransom and killed not too long ago.
