Dev I did read that the San Mateo area is more upscale has residents that are more highly educated than some other areaas. That is encouraging to me in that they will likely understand what is being said on the witness stand as opposed to the Simpson Jury who couldn't even remember the name of the person sitting next to them.

I have lived in San Mateo, and served on juries there. Typically lawyers excuse well educated people from technical fields, but in the SF Peninsula area there are a large number of well educated techies. Likely there will be some on the jury who will not brush aside issues of tracking using GPS.

Of course there are also jurors who mistrust the police, which was the point exploited in the Simpson case.

San Mateo draws from very upscale (Hillsboro, think Bing Crosby) Foster City, (think middle class) and Shoreview, (think near poverty level). Of course even the Shoreview homes sell for $250 K and up so its not like poverty in Alabama.
