" Lay judge system starts in Japan amid fears over burden on citizens"

Lay Judge System was introduced into the criminal trial.
But I think it is not good system in Japan.
There are two reasons.

First of all, Japanese are easily swayed by the opinions others.
so I think probability of guilt dosen't change.

Second is goverment obliges citizen to participate in trial, if you were chosen.
and if you participated in trial, you can get a button.

Trial is dealt in game.
Citizen dosen't participate in trial to get a button.

I think this system is abolished some day in the future.
