Yes, we borrowed a lot from you. Go figure.
You can have jury trials in civil cases. But the defendant can choose a judge-only trial. Libel is a civil matter, not a criminal matter. The prosecution is brought by the injured party, not by the public prosecutor.
You must be confused. As a defendant in either a criminal or civil case I can have it heard by a jury or a judge. Also, the public prosecutor is simply a paid lawyer for the injured party - the public in most cases, a rape victim in another, etc.. No difference. Libel and slander in the US is against the law. Its not censorship. Oh, and we got quite of bit of that law from our cousins in the British Empire as well. For instance, its not libel if its the truth (a famous case I'm sure you were taught about). _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
