The problem is that is trying to get on a jury to begin with. While this country has lost it's ideal of "innocent until proven guilty" we also have to make sure that we don't assume innocence for the mere cause of trying to overthrow a system riddled with holes.
just like at the end of my blog post, I don't know that I'd want the awesome responsibility of deciding a man's fate.. whether it be his freedom or his life.
I think if more people would understand the scope of that responsibility, there would be more dutiful jurors rather than the, lets get out of here as fast as we can jurors.
