Randomly selected juries avoid the "cabal" problem -- it's transparent who gets involved, it's not limited to some people, it's not the same people all the time, and it's a bit easier to deal with (perceived/claimed/whatever) conflicts of interest. I dunno, it's just something I've been wondering about for a little while now. Cheers, aj
