Here is my idea of how the fix an obvious broken jury system. A simple fix. There are more lawyers out there then work. The lawyers know the law better then anyone else. So starting when a lawyer gets their BAR practicing ticket here. Have them have to do 6 months of random jury duty. As part of getting a law degree. The same idea as a doctors residence in a way. And have all lawyers have to do 3 months of jury duty every 5 years to keep their law ticket to practice. That way several problems would be addressed. The randomly mixed legal law degree jurors would have the knowledge of law on the side for deliberations. The science testimony end would be cut to a much shorter degree in all trails. The lawyers would always be refreshed in that it is about a search for truth, not winning at all costs in court. There would be far less chance of lawyers arguing smoke and mirrors cases for the prosecution or defense. And the lawyers would get an insight into ever so many more cases for an "outside" none prejudicial view.
I am sure you good people have many good ideas here. What passes for a justice system now is clearly broken. So lets hear some ideas here please.
