Now, I am by no means an accomplished political, philosophical, intellectual, or legal mind -- but, when I really sit down and consider it, I am not sure that the jury system is the best way to conduct trials and enforce laws. The examples of O.J. and Casey Anthony are tossed around a lot; although, really, for me it boils down to this: I would rather my fate be decided by my superiors, not my equals. What is the motivation for twelve "regular" people to truly do the best in finding justice in the case?

I've always assumed that it kept people from being able to buy a verdict. If I don't know who is on the jury beforehand I can't try to make the choice for them beforehand.

Eh, I think you can buy a verdict either way, but perhaps at this point I'm just being cynical.  |

I don't claim to be right at all.
My plan is to stick with not going to trial for anything so I don't have to worry about it.
