Obviously not perfect but a lot better than you describe. discuss order hn newest onlyrealcuzzo|2 years ago > and the jury is composed of a group of people who are chosen by both sides to prevent it from being a biased decision.No, it's not.It's chosen at random, and they have a chance to rule out people they think would be biased - and you can't just toss anyone for any reason.It's not like Google can toss anyone they see playing a game or using an iPhone or something.And it's definitely not like Google gets to pick 6 Google groupies and Epic picks 6 Epic groupies to be on the jury. kyruzic|2 years ago I didn't say they were individually selected and yes they can just throw out a certain number of potential jurors without any reason.Maybe I worded my comment poorly but the point still stands.

And it's definitely not like Google gets to pick 6 Google groupies and Epic picks 6 Epic groupies to be on the jury.
