I think its crap. I've been on juries before and I've never heard any jurors arguing anything except the facts in the case.

I've been on juries before too and I know for a fact that people oftentimes don't have a clue about how or why they come to decisions. They often call it "gut" feelings and an ugly person can really twist one's gut. :-)

It's not so much a matter of what they say, or even think, it's what they do.

I think it considerably more subtle than that, but still valid. People tend to sympathize with those they can identify with, and they all like to think they're attractive.

no one says that jurors sit there and talk looks....but they subconciously give the benefit of the doubt to the beautiful people, and the nod of suspicion to the not so beautiful.....
