- coldtea 8y agoLaws already codify experts' opinion of what should be punishable and how (both legal and domain experts). The "jury of experts" role wouldn't be to punish "anyway they please" but to what is implied by their choice and description (as experts): to rule in accordance with their domain knowledge. And of course their job would be judged in turn. If a society can't trust a jury of experts on a domain to clearly and effectively judge issues related to their expertise, then it has bigger problems, and laws wouldn't save it from them.
