Just wondering.....if a woman was on trial for murder and the jury consisted of 6 men, you can bet there would be a hue and outcry from the media saying she wasn’t being tried by a jury of her peers.
I am bothered by the fact that ONLY 6 persons are being used in a case where the penalty could literally be life in prison.
Why NOT 12 persons?
I sat on an Assault & Battery case years ago in the jury, and we had 12 persons for that crime. We also convicted him.
