TONGA: Chief Justice says no need to scrap jury trials
Updated
Tonga's Chief Justice doesn't believe there's any need to get rid of jury trials in favour of trials before a judge. The idea was raised by the President of the Law Society, Laki Niu, who is concerned that juries in a small place like Tonga might be finding defendants not guilty simply on the basis of their close relationship to the accused.
