its interesting the wrangling that goes on selecting jurors though. My friend was telling me about a jury duty deal she was ultimately not selected for, I guess it was a rape case. And things were getting pretty heated, the prosecution lawyer was looking for young women on the jury and older men who had daughters, and the defense was looking to put older women and young men she said. There apparently was quite a bit of horse trading going on, people dismissed, returned, dismissed, traded for other people, arguing going on between the lawyers, ect.

It had never occured to me just how much the makeup of a jury of your peers can really alter the outcome of the case, but sure, it definitely makes sense when you consider it. Im not sure how she learned what the case was actually supposed to be about, im assuming from some other jurors who got selected and told her later. (hopefully not during the proceedings)
