“Oh yeah.. let’s not forget the ‘retarded jury pool” “
Abject stupidity is part of it, but I think more often these jurors are engaging in blatant class and/or race warfare. “Rich and greedy” corporations run by succesful white men, are by default, guilty of all charges and ripe for a money vacuumming.
The Founders had in mind a learned, reponsible jury, who would take very seriously their important rendering of justice.
(Yeah, I know, one is billions of dollars serious, the other is a pleasant bit of humor.)
