A Fair Trade?

Ethan Leib recently wrote an article about criminal juries where he makes this provocative argument: "This piece argues for a supermajoritarian decision rule for conviction by a criminal jury and a simple majority decision rule for acquittal."  Leib's speciality is democratic decision making, and his piece argues that a supermajority rule for conviction and simple majority rule for acquittal would be more democratic.  Let's put aside that (very interesting) theoretical question for a second.  Here's my question: If you had some sort of magic wand, and thus could make such trades, would you trade the current system (where convictions and acquittals must be unanimous) for Leib's proposed system?
