But finding a way to call in the hundreds of people from the public needed to form a jury, and then to have the jury hear the case and deliberate in a way that still guarantees the (alleged) impartiality of the process is a much tougher puzzle to sort out.
I definitely agree, here, just based on my knowledge of judicial workings. Most things could be handled with some extra planning, but I don't know how jury trials could happen.
