I never liked the idea of a jury. These are people who are not lawyers and never had experience with these cases before and are asked to decide the fate of someone they don't even know.
I was speaking more in a general sense. It's obvious that people enjoy situations like this, based on the types of television shows they watch. So, if broadcast news organizations want good ratings, they'll deliver what statistics say will get them those ratings. So, in a sense, I agree with you. But ultimately, I feel the public only gets what it asks for.

And I think a jury is the fairest way to go about things. You get people from all walks of life and ask them to use common sense.
