How much better is the jury trial than the alternatives for those who are not, uh, a "culture fit"? For example, those that are "highly melanated", or of "mestizo persuasion (and Mexican extraction who 'no speaka da English')" or covered head to toe in burka or limp -wristed homosexual or, again, Boris who is fresh off the boat from Belarus with the thickest of accents and broken grammar...how do they fare with the jury who I am assuming will be made up of those who represent the opinion and culture of the majority for who those listed above are not always the "most respectable of people"? I guess one could argue this is NY, not Alabama, but then again, NYC is not synonymous with Upstate New York.
I apologize for my own grammar. Asking the question for my friend :)
