Why does the media think a juror is a decision maker? Less than 30% of the population

are decision makers or ever get a chance to make a decision. Getting out of bed is the biggest decision 70% of the population ever make.

That's my opinion and I'm not going to change it.

defense lawyers spend billions to people who study and select jurors. So my point is we leave juror 29 alone and blame the system because she didn't hang the jury.
