You are a serious misanthrope. My wonderful Armenian divorce lawyer, as
decent, intelligent, and skilled a lawyer and human being as one would
be likely to meet, told me once that the jury system is the best thing
to happen to the legal system -- and he clearly believed that
wholeheartedly and passionately.
I'll take his word for it, rather than your (consistently) paranoid fantasies.
So glad I didn't grow up in Poland.
