    Mr. Ben­nett, your arti­cle was the best thing I’ve read online in prob­a­bly over a week (and you’d be quite impressed once you saw how many other things I’ve read recently), and I’m not even a lawyer! But I’ve been on the other side of jury selec­tion, and your arti­cle rang true there, too. I love how much that expe­ri­ence, and your arti­cle, revealed about peo­ple. It’s a highly charged process, no doubt about that.
