Malice - 6th Amendment
? The implementation of professional jurors in felony cases, screened upon entering the vocation and trained to search for truths reflecting facts, rather than emotions and biases, will guaranty the accused, as well as the public, a fair trial . The current jury selection method serves no one by allowing bias and confusion to corrupt the truth . A trained, professional jury would refocus the objectives of courtroom litigation, returning felony criminal trials to the finding of fact, truth and a just verdict . Professional jurors, trained to understand the aspects of complicated criminal laws, would help ensure courtroom consistency in the litigation process . Most criminal laws require several elements to be met in order for an action to be considered a crime . Intent, causation, malice aforethought and forensic evidence are only some of the complicated issues that are, at best, difficult to comprehend even with specialized education, and virtually impossible without . These complex rules and regulations support an environment of confusion and misinterpretation for a jury that is generally unfamiliar with the fundamentals of practicing law, the precise conditions needed for a mistrial . Specially trained jurors would be able to understand and correctly interpret the elements and factors involved in felony penal code violations and criminal procedures, enabling decisions to be made in an informed and unbiased manner, based on the facts and the merits of the evidence . The current system of jury selection in Supreme Court trials should be replaced with professionally trained jurors because the social and economic consequences we pay for a system of justice that is biased and flawed is far more costly than mere money .
