I think a trial by jury is a good system when it's policed properly. The main issues I see with trial by jury is that there is a huge bias against blacks and other minorities. They get found guilty by a proportion that's vastly out of whack for those of white descent but of the same socioeconomic origin.


When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, militarism and economic exploitation are incapable of being conquered
