Meh, I don’t have much more faith in juries as the trials I’ve seen are more performance acts than accounting of events. Think about how salespeople can convince so many people to buy X product even if it’s total garbage and now imagine that sales person becomes a prosecutor.

One famous example of this showmanship was the prosecutor from Making a Murderer who convinced two separate juries to convict two separate people of a single murder claiming two completely different sets of facts in each trial. That woman definitely wasn’t murdered twice but she would have had to have been based on his arguments.

I’ve also witnessed this personally with a cop lying on the stand, the prosecutor misrepresenting things, and ‘expert witnesses’ telling the jury whatever the prosecution paid them to say and they typically eat this shit up. How much effort do you expect them to put in when they’re pulled from their life to sit in some uncomfortable room listening to terrible stuff for $12 a day? Most people default to whatever the authority figure tells them to do/think.
