It disturbs me that our system’s fundamental rules of a criminal trial have so much gray area that even a panel of 7 appellate judges make a decision on a 4-3 split.

How hard is it to rig 7 and 5 judge panels?

Moreover, these kinds of tiny judicial panels (or even single judges) are being used to subvert case justice or overturn millions of votes as per State "Propositions"? (see California several times)
