In many (if not most) - YES. You have statistical data that says otherwise?
And therein lies the problem….
I commented on my experience with news people for a reason. What you read in the news is very often quite inaccurate. Especially when it comes to trials. As @LoudThunder wrote, the juror is only supposed to consider evidence presented in court, not in the news.
News writers don’t have that consideration, they only want splashy headlines so include hearsay, the neighbor’s interview, speculation and a lot of BS that is not fact or disallowed in court of law. The court of public opinion is very often very wrong.
… or, nowadays, “clickbait”.

There are thousands of jury trials, most of which are handled properly. You’re making your case based on a VERY small number of high profile trials that don’t turn out as you think they should. Of course, you also don’t know all the facts. Either way, it’s sounding a lot like a convenient excuse, not a legitimate reason not to serve.

I do not trust AI, Its “experiences” and “Knowledge Base” is only what it is input… I watched a documentary on companies that are used to “Teach” AI and like most businesses, these companies are based in third world countries where they hire folks off the street to “teach” the AI system… The person is shown a photo of a “goat” and the “teacher” types in “Goat” so that the AI interpreters that image as a goat, not as a dog, etc…
The teacher reads a passage of text and then they type in what the teacher thinks it means…
An AI Systems are totally dependent on data that is fed in and the interpretations of that data by its “teachers” It also extrapolates other data it finds on the Internet, without verifying the data veracity.
As the old expression goes, “Garbage in, Garbage out…”
I would not want an AI Judge deciding my fate in a court case. Because AI Systems can and do generate fake Legal Precedence and Fake Quotes to justify its position then there is no end to what it can and would do…

I definitely oppose AI judges and juries. Was being Facetious, but the anecdote was true. One of the jurors interviewed after the trial indicated the jury was so confused they thought manslaughter required premeditation, that it both the fault of the judge not properly instructing the jury, and the prosecutor going for m u r d e r in the first degree.

Oh good grief, the AI I am referring to would be like what is used in the medical field called medical grade AI, it is NOT the same as what you can access from the internet… The AI used by doctors, often referred to as medical-grade AI, is typically more advanced and specifically trained for clinical applications compared to the general AI tools available to the public. While both types of AI can provide information, the medical versions are designed to assist with diagnostics and patient care in a more reliable manner…
Any law based AI would need to be built from the ground up like whatever lawyers etc get their info from, but instead of books it would in AI forum that is only handled by whoever wrights the laws and books about the law that lawyers use… It would have to be a closed system not open to the internet like google AI and chat ctp or whatever it is called…
You are thinking a law based AI would be like a Haynes repair manual, whereas I am thinking it would have be like a factory service manual, like us pros use… The factory service manual for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma is 11292 pages and it only covers one vehicle, big difference than a cheap Haynes type repair manual…
Again just thinking about the future… Ya know, that is how a lot of stuff gets invented, being open minded and looking towards the future…
Now where are the flying vehicles that the Jetsons promised us all those years ago??
Ah, but we are living in an age where there are claims that paper marked with a sharpie can be hacked.
This is silly. Could we change the subject?
When I would buy a car, i would also buy the factory service manual. Once I even got the dealer to throw it in to finish the deal. I haven’t bought one in a while now, I just pay people that have them. My first one was about $10 from Chrysler. Last one I paid over $200 for a Gm one. I lucked out with the Acura and got a year old one for $100.
There are stupid and corrupt judges, lawyers, politicians, mechanics, and even members of the clergy. AI is a distraction from identifying and eliminating these folks. As they say at st. Olaf, fram fram Kristman krossmen. Don’t get distracted.
first this was a plea deal, sure the judge could have rejected but 99% of the time they don’t, this means not only did the defense agree but the DA’s office also signed off on it. meaning your anger with “judges” is in fact a little bias here. However, personally I believe social media distracted driver’s should be punished more harshly than probation.
I am not being Facetious; some people are so easily confused that they will “push” on a door that clearly says “Pull” and they do not understand why a towel gets wetter the more it dries you.
And when you ask them “What months have 28-days?” and they argue that only February has 28-days and the rest have 30 or 31-days… And you explain that they “all” have 28-days but some have more. And they will still argue that only February has 28-days…
How is this any different from the claim that it is the fault of the judge not properly instructing the jury?
You have to qualify your statements. What months usually have 28 days only. Except on a leap year.
I should not have to qualify anything, the listener has to listen and answer the question, not rephrase the question…
This is a standard question, it was not intended to seek the answer of “February,” it was to test if the listener listened to the question, so the question, “Which months have 28-days?” is seeking the answer, “All 12-months have 28-days, some have a few more…”
Just like the question, “What word is spelled incorrectly in every single dictionary?” Folks who are easily confused will answer, “There are no words spelled incorrectly in the dictionary…” Well, there is, look up the work “incorrectly” and it is spelled incorrectly… 
And here is one more, “How could a man fall off a 50-foot ladder but not get hurt?” He fell off the first set… ( Double )
Can’t forget this one.
