Don’t we teach civics anymore?
The entire point of a jury is to insure that an innocent man is not convicted because of bias or hate.
Therefore, the jury is to be composed of HIS peers.
That puts a final “STOP” to any attempt by the state to railroad someone on bias or hate grounds;
and even a tyrannical state cannot CONVICT someone it goes
after (although it can charge and prosecute him) if HIS OWN PEERS refuse to support the state.
The “victim” isn’t in need of any “protection” from the state, and so doesn’t have a say.
(And why insist that members of a lynch mob be included on a jury which will judge the one they are trying to get?)
