Again an illustration of why the supposed virtue of 12 good men/women and true is so flawed! If I were guilty I'd be happy to have a jury trial but as an innocent man I'd have little of no faith in them.
An interesting idea.
There was a time when if a jury found the defendant guilty, their decision was unquestioned but should they found them innocent against the opinion of the court, they could be charged in the Star Chamber 'for their partiallity in finding a manifest offender not guilty'.
It took a courageous jury in 1670 who withstood imprisonment without food or water to change things.
