Sierra Leone’s parliament has voted to abolish the jury system. The Criminal Procedure Act awaits President Julius Maada Bio’s signature. Supporters welcome the decision but attorney Augustine Sorie-Sengbe Marrah tells host James Butty that the jury system has been the bulwark of Sierra Leone’s justice system, and justice should not be left to a single judge.
