The USA is a strange place. Thanks for the explanation.

  What's strange about anything the parent said?

    As far as i understand it a jury is supposed to be composed of one's "peers", but the people the parent describes strike me as way off the american norm.

      That is not the meaning of the word peer in this case. The concept of a jury of peers differs from the King being the jury. It refers to citizens as peers not people with red hair, the same skin color, or socioeconomic background as peers.
