The sex breakdown of the jury shouldn’t matter. I’m surprised they didn’t mention the racial breakdown, as it’s a racially charged case.

Many women are overly emotional which can lead to undeserved sympathy for criminals.

Goes toward IDing them for threats later.

= = =

8+4=12

Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Well, that used to be, but after reading about some of the 1/6 defendeants I am not sure.
