The only problem I've ever had with juries is in cases where there are two (or more) expert witnesses giving contradictory testimony, and the jury has to decide which one is telling the truth. There was one true crime story I was watching, and one of the pieces of forensic evidence had to do with the timing of death, and they had two experts get on the stand and give completely contradictory interpretations of what happened (based on the type of insects that were found on the body). When I was watching it, I was thinking, how could average citizens, with little background knowledge on the subject, adequately assess the two arguments.
