Way Way TOOOOO long........... didn't read.

Yes, one can make arguments the legal system is flawed.
And you are one burned out citizen, attorney or whatever you do.
It's clear you either work in or around the court system and make some very valid points.......... but you need to take a long vacation and find a new career.

And the power that the jurors have is more than enough.................. They don't want to be there for a day, an hour, or even a minute. 99.9% are, really, not there by choice. They just didn't know how to get out of it.
And those 99.9% who are stuck doing it............really don't want to make any decisions about the court case..........they literally don't want to "stand and judge someone."
So to think they would suddenly take some vested interest in this ............ well.......... is nonsense.
And if you thought Judges have made some weird or even criminal decisions.............. it would take the jury led system about a day to truly mess EVERYTHING up.
