The jury of peers is an incredible system in America, but I'm not sure if a jury of even average to above average intelligence people are equipped to - again - even have an opinion on this subject, let alone make a decision.
i just cant believe a jury found causation beyond a reasonable doubt

Constitution makes no distinction for who composes a jury other than they be peers.

You don't need to present facts to a jury. You just need to be more convincing than the other guy.

Facts, or no facts, the corporate attorneys were less convincing. /shrug

No, you just need to find the right pack of morons. The legal system should not be a fucking lottery. justice is supposed to be blind not random.

Not a thing, but this sort of shit carries over to pharmaceuticals and thngs like medical malpractice. Everyone else foots the bill for these con men and their retard jury enablers. You remember John edwards? made an absolute fortune suing doctors who did nothing wrong because they could find dumb enough juries.

If you don't bitch about shit like this you have no right to bitch about the cost of healthcare or the price of drugs.

Finding the right pack of morons only adjusts the slider for how hard you need to work to convince them.

I'm talking about the reality of the situation, not stating my ideals.

You only need a simple majority in civil cases. Half the population is already at nearly retard levels of stupid when it comes to science.
