"""
Most legal processes work on the theory that every case has exactly two 
opposed sides and that it is easier to find two biased humans than one 
unbiased one.  Between the prosecution and the defense, someone has a 
motive to present any given piece of evidence, so the court will see all 
the evidence; that is the theory.

Perhaps it's easier to balance out biases with 12 people than with 1 or 3?
