Based on the article's description of jury selection, this seems like a case where the jury was probably biased but the verdict will not be overturned on appeal for that reason. The appeal on that issue probably won't be very helpful to forming an opinion because the bar is unreasonably high and 99.999% of trial lawyers are bad at making the record. Perhaps they can win on a transfer of venue appeal or something, which is quite a long shot but maybe not as long as jury selection bias. (I'm a former jury consultant and a non-practicing lawyer).

- staticautomatic 2y agoHave you ever actually seen someone try/fail to make the record for jury selection bias or worked on one of these appeals? I have, many times, and that's my honest professional opinion.
- mistrial9 2y ago> that's my honest opinion LOL - a fake percentage is false by definition! no matter what the circumstances.. you mock yourself further. This board includes science and stats fyi
- staticautomatic 2y agoYou’re reading that wayyyy too literally and using it as an excuse to be combative
