Look at how rabidly authoritarian the criminal justice system is right now, especially the prosecutors. I can't imagine the professional juries would be anything other than an extension of those attitudes. I'll take incompetent, uninformed people over people who think their duty is to send as many people to prison as humanly possible.

It does enjoy a great deal of popular support but not the seemingly unanimous, unquestioning support it has in the law enforcement community. At least most average people think prison time for marijuana or copying medical journal articles is silly. Note how the law enforcement community is basically the only major institution left that opposes any sort of criminal justice reform or scaling back of the drug war. They are the last people I would trust to determine my innocence or guilt.
