Actually, that's the most troubling question of all. I'd have to say that letting attorneys pick jurors gives them the ability to choose jurors who cannot keep up with the details of a complex charge, who will likely tire easily and want to go home, or who will simply become too confused to continue. I do believe in a trial by a jury of peers, but am really disappointed in the outcomes of sensational trials (OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson, and now R Scrushy) when it looks for all the world like the jury was led like lambs to the slaughter by good orators. This jury was ready to give up in the first few days of deliberation and had to be urged by the judge to continue! Complex legal issues need to be heard by jurors who are capable of keeping their heads straight, not wear out before their job is done, understand the issues, and comprehend the defense (or the prosecution's ) attempts to obscure the real issues of the day. Don't you agree?
