The problem with the trial by jury system is the jurors that are smart enough to make a sound decision are never part of a jury because they're smart enough to get out of jury duty ;-)
So the jury ends up full of idiots.
I've yet to sit on a jury myself...I mean seriously mandatory day off of work where you only get paid like $7.50 an hour? Fuck that, I was making more than that when I was a teenager :-/
