Bad, very bad idea! Even worse than the current "jury of his peers". "Professional jurists" would further advance the corruption of our current judicial system.
Why not put the burden of proof on the defense and make it "guilty until you prove yourself innocent"?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions!

Appreciate your feedback. Just thought I’d run it up the pole and see if anyone salutes it.
