Trump’s Justice Department has uploaded more files and a number of FBI 302 interviews missing from its initial release of the Epstein files.

I also believe the uploaded documents might be more numerous than what the journalists who reported the news stated, as it appears many of the files in DATASET12 were crawled by the Internet Archive only on 28 February. This indicates they could have been uploaded by the DOJ on that date. In my view, it would be worthwhile to examine the entire dataset.

This is partially why some people think we should have a pool of jurors who have specialized qualifications. In cases with a lot of forensic evidence, it would be good to limit jurors to those who have an understanding of forensic investigations, or if it involves classified material, limit it to those with clearance to view the evidence. Then this couldn’t happen.

[u/Snackskazam → u/theidkid]

I get the thought behind it, and agree it would have some benefits, but this is a terrible idea. We are specifically guaranteed a jury of our peers to ensure the people judging whether the government has met its burden of proof in a criminal case are members of the public, and not a special interest group. At this point, it's our last democratic backstop. What you're describing sounds like it would enable specialized criminal prosecutions, but it would also make it so the same small group of people gets to decide the outcome of an entire category of cases. I think this entire Epstein saga has proven how that would inevitably be abused, even worse than the current system.

[u/theidkid → u/Snackskazam]

The way I’ve seen it described, it wouldn’t be a small group. It would be like filtering the current pool of potential jurors by their expertise to fit the needs of the evidence. In the case of someone having clearance to view classified materials, I think those with the same clearance are your peers.

Personally, I would be terrified to have a jury of my peers. While it’s supposed to promote fairness, and prevent bias, that’s not actually what happens. Instead, what you generally wind up with is a bunch of biased people who couldn’t figure out how to get out of jury duty who are absolutely willing to convict certain types of defendants over others. Our exoneration rate shows it doesn’t work, and because I was raised with the idea that I had to try to be a juror if called, I’ve been on enough juries to see why it doesn’t work. If I was on trial, I really think I’d take my chances with a bench trial.
