So your argument is :

a) Compulsory Jury Duty is a flawed concept and is one of the reasons why our law system has it's failings.

Well, that appears to be a massive unsubstantiated generalisation.

b) While a juror's uninterest can be seen as a plus as it means they aren't going to take things as seriously either, someone who doesn't want to be there will just go with whatever gets them out of it quicker rather then actually taking in the facts of a case and making an educated decision and to put the fate of someone in the hands of someone so disinterested is reckless and foolish.

At best, hypothesis; at worst, naive postulation.
