Kilts on Jury Duty...

Well said.

If we used the jury system the way it's supposed to be used, the notion of 3-judge panels would be abhorrent to any lover of liberty.

My preference for a 3 or 5 judge panel would be just to hear the scientific and technical evidence, rule on admissability and relevance so the 12-person jury does not have to be "educated" on these topics by both sides. I could give hundreds of examples, but suffice to say, the current system clearly favors those that can afford to buy the highest priced experts. This means the poor get railroaded and the rich get off scot-free.

Let's get this back on topic.
I have seen judges throw people out of the court for wearing shorts or cut-offs and tank-tops. I wonder if there is a judge somewhere that might object to a man in a kilt, juror or defendant?
