The way I heard it was: "Who wants to be tried by people too stupid to get out of jury duty?" We already have alternatives to juries. Small claims & appellate court cases are decided by judges. Civil lawsuits can be settled by arbitrators. The point of a jury of one's peers is to ensure that judge, prosecutor & jury are all not government. I see no problem with a defendant waiving trial by jury & choosing another alternative.
