it’s much, much harder to buy off or otherwise influence a jury
But jurors are subject to intimidation. I’m not sure of the situation in the rest of the world, but in Ireland this is currently a significant problem for some (mostly gang- and drug-related) trials.
EDIT: in designing an ideal system maybe we can assume that good legislation and procedures make this problem go away.
