I wonder how many have actually ever been in a trial as a participant. I practiced in military courts-martials with active duty service members as jurors. You have to know your jurors, at least to some extent. Surprisingly, not all were hammers. I recall a drug possession case where my client was acquitted and the judge later told me that the president of the court (foreman) told him later that the panel "thought" my client did it, but the government just did not prove it. I doubt that one will hear that in this case.
