you do realize the “picking” is severly limited.

you have a very finite number of strikes to remove for whatever reason... (5?)

The judge can question the reason regardless

you have a set number for cause...(knows the people, family, relative, would never convict, would always convict...)

The judge can question the reason

And you have the defense and prosecution working to get different jurrors on or off.

This also includes jurrors who come up with any form of excuse to get out of the jury.

The LAST people you want making a decision for YOUR LIFE is a sanctimonious judge or a prosecutor (see nifong)

True I was thinking of a random selection from a qualified pool of those with no interest in the case.
