    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.
