"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"

you completely missed the point of the story.....

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.....

No I got the point exactly I just think it's silly. For one thing the awful fact is that most people convicted are acually guilty. Any effect of beauty of the defendent would get burried in the noise of the other factors.
