It is not a jury of our peers. It is a selected jury. And, the side that
does the best selection will probably win the case. Sometimes I think we
should have professional juries; ones trained and have some smarts.


I've pondered that a few times myself Ross, and I think I would have to
agree. I think judges do a good job with their experience, but they too
often tend to get too anal with the letter of the law and loose a bit of
their ability to judge. Seems a trained panel could do a better job of
looking at cases from different angles, and reaching the most reasonable
conclusion. The way we select juries today can often be a real turkey shoot.
