That is an excellent question. Honestly, I was thinking what would I do if I was called for 'Jury Duty' in some more serious case (criminal case). Proof would really have to be rock solid (like a video tape with accused taped killing/raping a victim). Otherwise, I would have difficulty in giving a 'Guilty' vote. Sentences depend on the current social norms. Social norms determine how most people think about things. Therefore, a sample of such 'ordinary' people may give a reliable sentence weighted by the current views of the society. Honestly, I do not feel that a jury is the best group to determine someone's innocence. If the jury is able to lie about a grudge they have with someone they could easily convince the rest that the defendant is guilty, truthfully, many people just assume that if someone is on trial they're guilty
