Are the men represented in this jury really your peers?

The men represented in this jury are not my peer. The men in the Jury usually comprised of mature, experienced and educated adults. They are popularly addressed as eminent jurists, which means that they are men and women of honour and integrity with proven track records.

Explanation:

Explain and defend your answer?

The defendant in this case was a kid who has committed an amoral act. The child will not be tried by these eminent jurists if he pleads guilty or not guilty. The matter will be categorised as a juvenile case and will be treated as such. He/she will be kept in the prison custody or correctional/reform centres until he/she is of age of trial.

No

Explanation:

It is highly unlikely that the men are peers of my age. Let's look at the scenario closely. First, the defendant is a small child. This may mean that the case involves a juvenile, or simply the person who is below the legal age to stand a noteworthy or adult trial. The person might be a child offender who has done a heinous crime, say murder or something of that sort. Thus, the defendant needs the counsel of mature judgement and counsel in order to defend and determine is case.
