> Honestly never understood the rationale behind jury-based trials. You're having a group of people who aren't trained in law, forcing them to rely only on the bits of evidence presented in the court, and asking them to make an unbiased decision, when they clearly have not been given any training of the sort?

this is a democracy, and the power of a democracy is ultimately on people; these people can vote, and they get to vote on your guilt.
