What sucks is when crafty prosecutors get the judge to pass on fucked up rules for the jury to decide on. They have to follow the rules, it's often not as simple as guilty/not guilty. But that is not the fault of the jury itself.

I think that the jury system per se is quite fucked up, especially when it consists just amateurs. For example in my country there is kinda jury, that has 1-2 professional judges and 2 amateur judges (attending to several cases per year). It is much better than having bunch of ignorant hillbillys stuffed into same room, and in worst case they are happy to sentence someone as quilty, just to get home.
