There's a strong case to be made for having professional, full-time juries.
Or a test to root out the dregs.

Teaching logic, reasoning and critical thinking as life skills via our publicly funded education system should help. They don't make for a very happy populace however.

If it's 10.30-4.00, sign me up.

In certain circumstances yes I agree
I'm surprised there isn't some kind of 'you aren't bat shit crazy' test for jury members but I guess that's why N is a reasonably large number (12?)

Not really. The court is chock full of professionals who are there to guide the process but also tainted by the institution (and have an institutionalised perception of the case). So many downsides to professional juries (opportunities for corruption, creates yet another class of people in the courts system who are distanced from normal life) while not at all removing the risk of there being morons and cunts in the jury.
I'm sure G4S would love to provide the service, though. Think about that.

People are weird it's true and juries are comprised of people...kinda terrifying but it's probably the least shit way
