Comment Re:Jurors as ex parte expert witnesses (Score 1) 506
THIS. There is a wide field of knowledge and study involving juror selection. Lawyers from all sides get to ask questions of the jury and get some number of exclusions by default. Samsung should have found the techies and patent holders in the jury pool and used their exclusions to kick them out. But they didn't; someone messed up.
