Having served as a juror on a murder trial, and a rape and drugs trial, I can attest to the incredible stupidity displayed by my fellow "jurors". Think: herding cats. The mind boggles just remembering. I look at it this way... PAY every juror a day rate equivalent to the judges pay. That would keep the smarter ones in the running. Stop tossing peanuts out for "your duty". If it was all about duty then all the lawyers and judges should get jury pay and only jury pay for their time. Fair wouldn't you say? You can be certain they'd squeal like pigs. My heart goes out to the little one who perished. The rest? I couldn't give a damn about them.
