Our standard for guilt IS a super-majority of your peers who you play with every day.
In general, we feel that the juries are too lenient and a lot of the 'borderline' cases that get tossed as not guilty are actually quite guilty...
We've left this up to the community to determine how harsh they want the review process to be.

Edited to extract what's vital in my eyes.
Making it to the Tribunal can be a piece of cake if the super-majority of our peers don't give a flying [insert generic curse word here] about each other. Thus, this standard may be
dangerously flawed.
You said you feel our juries are "too lenient", which implies that there're far more pardons than punishes.
Care to provide some proof of that? Otherwise, it'll remain open to skepticism.
So in essence what you're telling us is, based on a majority vote [which I know an automated script can check], players can get banned? So if the players decided to vote "punish" on all cases, ignoring standards set in stone by you guys, players will be awarded punishment? Or if players are extremely sensitive to all violations of the summoner's code [i.e.: punishing players for saying "noob" or "{insert curse words here}"], they can get away with forcing bans on their peers for the most minor offenses?
I personally believe that, given the way all the facts are panning out in my view, there's a lot of room for abuse. Even if someone does indeed deserve to be punished, I feel that the current system is both harsh and demoralizing. It's a negative reinforcement that I feel is going to cause a decline in overall activity in the near future. Nobody wants their account to get "defecated on" by grudge-filled players.
Nobody. I firmly believe that venting/communicating someone's anger is a means for venting. I also firmly believe that BOTH the chat filter AND the /ignore command is more than sufficient to eliminate and completely negate the effects of poor "chatting" demeanor.
I feel that the player base just cannot be trusted [period]. The Tribunal's essentially giving power to the internet trolls that happen to play LoL.
