But the jury system \u2026 that still works.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying the jury system is perfect. Nothing\u2019s perfect. But when it doesn\u2019t work, that\u2019s usually the fault of a legal system engaged in corruption or some form of nullification.<\/p>\n<p>Why does the jury system still work?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is simple: juries are made up of everyday Americans who have one job, one goal\u2026 To get it right. What\u2019s the incentive to get it right? Well, as a juror, you risk having to live with the unthinkable: &nbsp;allowing the guilty to go unpunished. You also risk something even more unthinkable: punishing the innocent.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Who wants to haul that bag of rocks around for the rest of their life?<\/p>\n<p>The jury system works because careerists are not allowed to participate. They\u2019re not even allowed in on the deliberations. In that room, after the lawyers and experts and cable news liars have all had their say, 12 citizens work in secrecy to get it right. No attorneys. No bureaucrats. No journalists. No stenographers. &nbsp;No one and nothing other than 12 people who have to live with it.<\/p>\n<p>People often talk about \u201cthe end of America.\u201d This or that bill gets passed, this or that decision comes down from the Supreme Court, and people scream, <em>This is the end of America!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t hear me say that. But you would if this country moved to what\u2019s known as \u201cprofessional juries,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1994\/04\/12\/opinion\/l-professional-jurors-758507.html\">something<\/a> the left <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/professional-jurors-has-t_b_867839\">trial balloons<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridatoday.com\/story\/opinion\/contributors\/2014\/11\/17\/marshall-frank-time-switch-professional-jurors\/19165291\/\">every<\/a> now and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theipinionsjournal.com\/2005\/07\/the-case-for-professional-juries-proved-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt\/\">again<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, everyday people with no incentive other than to get it right have the ultimate say in our criminal justice system. That is a beautiful thing. Those 12 decide who is guilty and who is not, and they do so alone, away from all the noise. Now imagine careerist jurors, people whose job it is to sit on juries, careerists paid by the government\u2026<\/p>\n<p><em>That<\/em> would be the end of America.<\/p>\n<p>Americans are a great people, most of us. We want to do the right thing. And even when the toxic banshees at CNN and the <em>Washington Post<\/em> and Democrat Party are calling for a head or demanding an acquittal, by and large, we go ahead and do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the media, politicians, and bureaucrats, we\u2019re not easy to corrupt. Why? Well, because, unlike the media and politicians and bureaucrats, we actually want to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank heaven for the jury system, the only remaining American institution we can still count on to do the right thing.
