<<Every jury I have been on has acquitted. >>

I've only been on one. The guy charged had beaten another guy with a chain while two of his gang employees held the beaten guy down. Charge-unlawful restraint. Verdict- guilty. We felt the chain beating was like a boxer pinning another boxer in a corner. Plus he paid the other two to hold the guy down. Got overturned.

I had to sit through the speech where a judge told us the jury was the most important people in the court room. Ring a ding dong.
