A description of the selection process (by someone who was in the courtroom when the jury was selected) can be found here: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20120416085550303#U... The judge specifically asked if anyone had software design experience; the two people who raised their hands were excused. He later asked, "there are geeky types of people and people who are not into technology. If you are on a geeky end, could you raise your hand?" Noone raised their hand. |

I understand there could be a bias, but on the other hand these people are making interpretations of the law that could have very large consequences for a long time. Self described non-geeks are going to have very little knowledge and potentially little care of those consequences
The judge should have filtered for bias in other ways
