Ah, but isn't "jury selection" the process of selecting those that don't know they are judging the law as well as the case?
You forgot something else. Jury Selection also involves the removal from the jury any individual who might have some knowledge about anything which might be relevent to the case. So the only people on juries are those who are unemployed, on uneducated or usually both.
