Juries: Yes or No?

The worst part about it, IMO, is letting the lawyers pick the jurors. Might as well let Joe Torre and Terry Francona pick the umpires: they'll pick people who are prone to decide the way they want the decision decided, instead of people who are, excuse the expression, fair and balanced.

The concept seems like a good one. But it seems like in practice you get a bunch of people who are not highly educated deciding the fates of people. If you look at the O.J. Simpson trial, only 2 of the 12 jurors had more than a high school diploma and one didn't even have that.
