@dynamic @tfardet This mechanism from the article, "The citizens are selected by lot, as you would for jury service;", seems to be the selection method, but has very little detail. A random selection would not guarantee subject matter knowledge. However, in a trial you can have expert testimony; the jurors don't need to have subject matter knowledge. The question is, can you get fair testimony? i.e., weighing of pros and cons, and without tainted presentation perception.
