I got called for Federal Jury Duty in NH many years ago. A small town policeman was on trial for pedophilia, the child was his stepson and the child's mother knew that it had been going on for several years - thankfully his school teacher finally realized something was very wrong. Harrowing, disgusting and I will never forget it, but the great outcome was when the Judge asked to address us in the Jury room before we were dismissed. He told us the authorities had suspected, but had no proof of his misconduct, and he thanked us for putting him away!

Worth every rotten minute I spent listening to this disturbing trial. So the Jury pool does matter!
