Ruling Limits Jury Power in Criminal Law

Justice Frederic R. DeYoung of the Illinois Supreme Court writes a ruling that juries no longer judge the law in criminal cases, with the judge becoming the decisive factor in legal questions. The decision is praised for reducing delays and boosting justice, while juries remain judges of facts. Chicago judge Harry Fisher calls it a landmark ruling. The 1930 census lists Illinois cities over ten thousand, Alhnosis leads in school districts and one teacher schools, and Chicago Surface Lines operates the world’s largest fleet of electric trackless trolley cars.
