Wouldn’t that mean juries could only be made up wishy washy idiots who have no opinions on anything with goo for minds for the lawyers to shape? Actually, I seem to recall a chapter of To Kill a Mockingbird where Finch basically says that and why

Mark Twain said something pretty similar, I believe.

I would greatly prefer a system like UK’s, where you basically get a randomly-selected jury.

But since we’re stuck with our present system, I don’t think you want people on the jury who’ve already made up their minds about the issue in question before the trial starts.

Wishy-washy jurors are exactly what the lawyers want. They need people whom they can mold into their way of thinking because the American system of juriprudence is about winning, not justice.
