Trey Gowdy: Reflecting on the institutions worthy of your respect

Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy looks back at the verdicts in the Kyle Rittenhouse and Ahmaud Arbery cases and what they say about the justice system and other institutions.

Juries usually do get it right. We're in a world where we've lost confidence in most other institutions, but the system that puts the decision in our hands, the hands of average everyday Americans, usually gets it right.

So what's different about the system we trust versus those we don't? And if we're looking for more institutions we can rely on, why not export the qualities of the trustworthy onto those entities for which we have lost regard? You know, juries take an oath to be fair. There's no friend to reward, no foe to punish. Juries are told to forget what they think or feel or really even believe before trial and focus exclusively on what is actually proven in trial. Juries do not substitute opinion for fact.
