Judge Failla would should remind this juror of her Plato, in another historic free speech trial: "Perhaps someone will remind me how others on trial brought their children and relatives, flooding the court with tears. Yet I, in danger of my life, will do none of these things."

The idea of a jury of your peers would be awesome if it actually happened. Like make @rstormsf take a battery of physical and mental exams and find people who are no more than 2 standard deviations off from his results. Instead he gets a lady taking a day off for a pedicure.
