There's two possible decisions the jury could make, and the jury is composed of a group of people who are chosen by both sides to prevent it from being a biased decision. Obviously not perfect but a lot better than you describe.

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.

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.
