The “justice” system depends on finding jurors who can’t spell “DNA” if you spot them the ‘D’ and the ‘N’. It may be the best system in the world blah blah blah, but anybody who depends on it for justice is a fool.
The guy demanded a jury trial. He could have demanded to be tried by a judge.
What was reported by a couple of disgruntled jurors who may have ulterior motives is suspect.

As a retired Sheriff's Deputy in Florida, I am not permitted to serve on a jury.
Since I receive occasional "notices to serve" anyway, I always reply, "I don't want to appear because I'll have to listen to lying Defense lawyers".
So far, so good. :-)
