Hasn’t worked since OJ got away with cold blooded murder, hands covered with blood, and bloody glove behind his house. Other than just letting one or a panel of three judges determine guilt/innocence, I’m not sure what the solution is.

Germany has a judge and two professional lay jurors, and all three work together to reach a decision and sentence.

But here I’d just be happy with a complete overhaul of voir dire. We should have consistently intelligent jurors, not the dumbest common denominator that we often end up with. For example, I know a lot about copyright law, and that is exactly why I will never be allowed to serve on a jury on a copyright case.
