Is that the sort of justice system you want, where a jury makes an unpopular decision and then you make their lives hell for having done so? Possibly have their lives taken bevause the popular sentiment disagrees with the decision they made?

I’d think, in your world, I’d rather serve jailtime than risk being on a jury where I might have to make the choice of rendering a popular, but unjust decision or have my life taken because I made what I thought to be a right call, even if it flies in the face of public sentiment.

You are hysterical. No one is going to take a juror’s life over this. They may be subjected to unpopularity and ridicule, but bottom line, most of them will make a pretty penny off of this case.
