A “community” isn’t in danger from a conviction, either;
so it has no reason to be represented on a jury.
(Why put klan members on a jury in the old South to judge
an accused black man—just to satisfy “the community”?)
A jury is always and 100% meant to protect an innocent defendant.
Nothing else.
And weakening that protection is simply giving the lynch mob a say in a conviction.
btw, the Supreme Court “broke” the function of the jury system when it ruled that juries could be representative of “the local community”—meaning, that there could be a “racial balance”—
which effectively destroyed the entire purpose of the jury of peers.
(One imagines it was giving in to pressure and trendiness—not something the “guardians of the Constitution” should
be involved with.)
We need to reset that; otherwise we just hand out ropes to the jurors as they enter the jury box.
