Heck, I’d like to randomize the whole thing. Imagine this trial taking place in — let’s spin the wheel — Oh, I guess this trial will take place in Kansas. And the 12 people from Kansas who are chosen for the jury will never see or know the name of the defendant. That shouldn’t matter, right? So the trial comes down to some guy from somewhere who paid his lawyer and claims this as a “legal expense”. So those 12 people from Kansas have to decide is this is a felony and if 120 years in jail is a reasonable penalty to put on this guy, whoever he is.

I bet they’d acquit.

I’m thinking the Supreme Court could be the arbiter, lots of details would need to be worked out, but the Supreme Court is at least a jury of 9 peers to decide jurisdiction to be tried in.
