Almost like cheating in a way. Seems to me maybe that part of the legal process needs some changes...

I actually never "profiled" a jury pool. That really only happens in massive corporate cases and criminal cases involving famous folks. Jury consultation is as expensive as hell, and often does little good. The bottom line is that you can guess how someone will think based on age, race, gender and profession, but at the end of the day, its still always a crapshoot.
