Remember, these are six women. They will pore over every word, every nuance, every detail of every word of testimony, and every action, no matter how minor, of every witness, attorney and the judge. A male jury, on the other hand, would look at the overriding generalities, take a quick vote of "not guilty" and be home in time for the game.
