They'd have to be living in a cave somewhere to not know the BS that's happening

But that’s not the point. The jury that decides his fate doesn’t know what case they’re getting until he’s already been found guilty. Idk if that’s a thing, but if it is, there’s specific reason to use it by the federal government.

Juries sit thru the entire trial process and they decide guilty or not.

Holy shit; yeah, fucking duh.

I was saying they may select a different group of people for sentencing. But since then, I’ve researched, and that is not the case. And in most capital cases, it’s the jury is actively involved in the sentencing, however it is a judge that makes the final call on what the sentence will be.
