the judge for the case told us the phrase “Jury of his peers” was BS and not found anywhere in any documentation.

That phrase is not in the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights. It comes from the (English) Magna Carta, where it was used to mean that a nobleman could only betried by other members of the nobility, and not by commoners. It has never been part of U.S. law.
