As you can see here, the Jury (of peers, more or less) was /is primarily a safeguard, which dates back to English Law, and our Constitution.

However , when peers are little more than those who just fell off the turnip truck, (and are given the task to void and/ or destroy valid patents, with their ignorance ).....the system seems very flawed...

Viewing the jury as central to the rights of the new nation, the Founders firmly established its role in the U.S. Constitution. They saw the jury as not only a benefit to the accused, but also as a check on the judiciary, much as Congress exists as a check on the Executive Branch.
