Martin Shkreli is found guilty of securities fraud
Um no one said or even implied either of those things

It does seem to be implied if you are invoking human fallibility to bolster an argument that jury trials are bad.

How does jury trials being imperfect imply that bench trials are perfect? A being true does not mean B is false...

The OP was saying that bench trials are much better, not just that jury trials are flawed.
