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 ;-)

The last time I was given a Jury Duty summons, I swung by the court house and filed a small claims case against McDonalds and chose an available date for the trial to coinside with my jury pick appearance date. Walked downstairs to the jury duty admin, showed proof of my being in a case on that date, got it canceled. Walked back upstairs to cancel my case against McDonalds, drove home. Cost me nothing.
The time before that I was in college so I printed out a sheet showing I had classes for the semester and claimed a hardship with the jury admin. There's retired people who enjoy jury duty. I'm happy to let them have it.
