Debate about the Jury System (especially, Jury Selection).

I found this article from MSNBS site.
The Jury Selection.
(www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22884508/)

As you can see this article is about Manslaughter Trial For Man Accused Of Providing Gun To Boy and the process of jury selection.
Derrick Glover furnished a handgun to Tony Youmans (middle-school student, only 12-year-old boy)
and Tony Youmans shot himself that handgun in the head. and suicide himself.
Glover is accused for manslaughter, furnishing a firearm to minor etc.
and the criminal procedure is going to start. In the pre-trial, the process of jury selection is begun.

In my opinion, he assisted young man's suicide, and he is guilty.
South Korea is adopting Jury system(petit jury) recently. and I am very interested in the U.S. jury system.
But In the United States, Jury System is not always useful and just. For Example, O.J. Simpson Case, Rodney king case, etc.
I think the most important thing, that the Jury System is going Well, is reasonable jury selection process.
