I don't know if that would help you. After all, it was a jury that actually indicted the Duke Lacrosse players.

Grand jury. As the old saying goes, a prosecutor can cause a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.

I would suggest that that same prosecutor could get a trial jury to convict the same said ham sandwich. In the Duke case in particular, if those boys hadn't had wealthy parents, they'd all be sitting in a state prison as we speak.
