Six jurors will now decide cases involving serious, violent crimes. Three professional judges will work with them to guide them through the legal process. For example, there will be six jurors and three judges meeting together to come to a majority vote decision, and verdicts are expected to be reached within just a few days.
That sounds like a good idea. Mixing the strengths of the two systems. 6 Jurors with 3 judges overseeing the way in which the citizens contemplate over the verdict.
