Answer:
Trial by jury is when an accused person's case is decided by a group of jurors whereas trial by accusation is based on an accusation by an individual without any jurors.
Trial by accusation is more of a witch-hunt.
Explanation:
Trial by jury is the process of dealing a person's case in court through the medium of a consultation between a group of jurors. These jurors are appointed by the government and have been selected randomly, with the jurors sometimes not acquainted with each other. This form of case dealing makes it more democratic, giving a fair chance for the person accused to give her side of the story and being discussed and decided by the multiple people.
Whereas, trial by accusation is when a person accuses someone based on suspicions. This form of case dealing only involves the accused and the accuser, with no form of democratic third party to be involved. This type of court cases is contradictory of the theme of "innocent until proven guilty". This means is more of a witch-hunt as the accused life depends on the accuser, unlike being dealt with by a group of government appointed third party.
