As I understand it, juries explicitly decide whether the law has been broken purely on the basis of what they determine the facts to be. The system is explicitly set up so that no specialist legal knowledge is required - the jury instructio

The "interests of the users" is not a single, homogonous thing that you can point at and define. Some users' interests conflict with other users! Also, interests can have a whole range of motivations, and I'm not sure an
