-Should federal and state governments pass legislation to encourage more criminal jury trials?

Yes they should

Explanation:

Most criminals on record are left in prison for so many years without trials hence their possiblity of freedom is bleak. So this would help.

this theory suggests that the wealth of a country depends on its economic assets, or capital.
