Having sat on a Jury I can attest that even the rules they suggest like 'you aren't here to judget the law' are actually illegal to say because the Jury can nullify a law. Moreso, most juries are not a jury of peers. What you have is a jury of older, lower-middle class who have enough money to take the time off and not enough responsibilities to make them forego it. It's basically a jury of bored old people.

Interesting. I deal with legal issues in both Article 17 and Contract Marriage, so there’s another draw for you :)
As a wag once noted, juries are made up of people too dumb to know how to get out of jury duty.
I've been a juror three times so far...
