My feelings, exactly, Steve. There are all sorts of jokes about jurors and their mental abilities...maybe those who joke have never been selected for that civic duty. If so, they might take exception to being characterized in such a fashion. I, too, applaud them for their time served. In the minds of the jurors, guilt was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Frankly, I'm glad I wasn't part of that particular panel.
