Question

How is a trial in ancient Athens different from one today

Answer 1

The main difference from what might have happened back in the days and what would happen today is that in a trial today, a person would be subject to a fair democratic trial which isn't something that might have happened back in the day, despite what people write about. 

Answer 2

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "A trial in ancient Athens different from one today is that there were no judges and lawyers at trials in ancient Athens. There was a large jury of 500 or more empanelled; it lasted one day; the prosecutor and defence had equal time."
