Hmmm. What about making juries bigger by a factor of a few, and slightly relaxing unanimity requirements for most types of cases? Kind of eliminates the intra-jury arguments meant to convince other members, but maybe it also could wash out some of the effect of having one or two jurors that you wouldn't want ordering your lunch, much less deciding your fate. Basically the problem we're trying to address here is that lots of people are dumb as a brick -- so how do you get around that while retaining the concept of a jury of peers?
