so should we make it mandatory for jurors to undergo training? maybe make it a career?

  I would definitely say make jurors go through training and pay them more; a lot more. The more expensive for the state to prosecute someone, the better.

    Why would it be better for it to be more expensive to prosecute someone? The point of laws is that we'd like to see them enforced. If the people don't like the laws they should change them not try to cripple their government's ability to do its job.

  We should remove mandatory sentences and give judges discretion

    Doesn't work as long as judges remain an elected position, because any judge who doles out reasonable sentences will be constantly attacked for being "soft on crime." https://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21613276-theyre-not-politicians-so-they-shouldnt-act-them-trouble-electing-judges https://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21613276-theyre...
