It seems that the jury selection process selects for people who don't really have jobs and who don't have particularly strong views on much. If the goal is to act as mere fact checkers and verify that the law is being applied consistently, I get the intention. However, this is a narrow view of the role of a jury. Juries should also serve as fail-safe, exercising discretion and preventing grotesque aberrations, for instance those coming from minimum sentencing laws. This is unlikely to happen with this kind of selection.
