Knock the savagery of it all you want. I've served on juries. The lesson is "The court is a place where your life ends at a capricious coin-toss by 12 idiots".

Knock the savagery of it all you want. I've served on juries. The lesson is "The court is a place where your life ends at a capricious coin-toss by 12 idiots". This is a perfect way to show that. Everyone should fear being in a courtroom as anything other than an employee or jury member.
