Bob is leaving the medical marijuana dispensary with his 6 ounces, which is legal under the law. He drops his purchase and drives away, unaware that he no longer has his marijuana. Sue is walking down the street when she becomes the lucky recipient of 6 ounces of marijuana. When Bob realizes his mistake he goes back to find Sue getting high on the corner, he calls the police claiming Sue stole his marijuana. Sue has been released without charges. What is the most likely reason for this?

Impartial means the jury has no bias against you as a defendant and must make a decision based on the facts of the trial. This guarantees those accused of committing a crime the right to a trial before an impartial jury.

It is vitally necessary for juries to be neutral, as juries serve as a legal constraint. Defendants convicted of serious offences have the right to a jury trial. If the right is exercised, they can only be tried by the jury.

Sue was released without charge because there is no actual evidence that he committed the crime levelled against him, this is a practical application of the right to an impartial jury.
