Do away with the judge. So you're in favor of lynch mobs? I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just asking. No. I'm in favor of a simplified code of laws, one where the punishment fits the crime, and regular people understand what the laws say and mean. Juries would decide guilt or innocence, with smaller panels for minor cases (perhaps 3 people, deciding on a simple majority) that involve no jail time, and a regular jury to decide cases where a prison sentence is at stake. This is just an example.
