  > I may be wrong but don't both sides get to choose the jury? For what it's worth, based on my expert knowledge (I once was summoned for jury duty, but was not needed), neither side gets to choose anyone, only to exercise a limited number of dismissals. That is, they can only decide 'no' (a certain number of times), not (except indirectly) 'yes'. Thus this: > the jury is made up of a group of people that both sides want making the decision. is more like "the jury is made up of a group of people who were judged least likely to make an undesireable decision", which I think is meaningfully different.
