Public of KBR opposed restrictions for jury
5.2.2006
The public of Kabardino-Balkaria had opposed initiatives of the public prosecutor of republic Jury Ketov about bringing by KBR Parliament a legislative initiative into the State Duma. The initiative concerns the jury to which, in the opinion of the public prosecutor it is impossible to give cases on a number of clauses of the Criminal code of Russian Federation for ” jurymen for some reasons are not ready to form a fair verdict”. We shall remind that the initiative got support of majority of deputies of the Parliament of Kabardino-Balkaria who also considered that the national mentality, related and other relations prevent juryman from adequate verdicts.
In the opinion of the independent lawyer, the honourable judge in resignation Iskhak Kuchukov, such statements have no under themselves any ground. “In that case it is necessary to raise the question whether militia, the Office of Public Prosecutor, courts are formed of same people. Or maybe they are done an inoculation, and they serve legality and justice with 100 percent guarantee”. In Iskhak Kuchukov’s opinion, it would be more correct to raise the question about increase of the level of professionalism of employees of the Office of Public Prosecutor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, improvement of quality of investigatory bodies, and toughening of selection in jurymen.
He was supported by the head of the legal expert center of Kabardino-Balkaria Valery Hatazhukov in whose opinion there is the problem of jury in Russia, too: “Ulman’s case” could serve that. “This is a new democratic institute in our country, and it should be let develop, instead of strangle it”, – declared Hatazhukov.
