The idea of jury selection is to produce a fair and unbiased group of jurors (generally people who don't know the defendants or prosecutors), not to allow the prosecution to pick and choose people who they think will decide in their favour. You don't "weed out" people in jury selection because you think they might go for an acquittal. Whatever happened to fair trials?

In the UK we don't even know who voted which way in a jury - and I can see why if individual jurors are going to be put up in the press and attacked on forums for their decisions.
