I am bothered by the fact that ONLY 6 persons are being used in a case where the penalty could literally be life in prison.

Why NOT 12 persons?

I sat on an Assault & Battery case years ago in the jury, and we had 12 persons for that crime. We also convicted him.

Floirida state law allows only six jurors in non-capital crimes.

That's why.
