1. I FOUND MY CAMERA \O/ I'm sort of proud since it was in a place that would've taken me another month or two to find if I hadn't thought of it last night, but I also feel stupid because it should have never been lost in the first place :| now I just need to find the cord for the computer

2. question: what exactly does "a jury of their peers" refer to? like similar age, race, socio-economic status, what?

3. haircut @ 10; plane @ 4:50. will be in CA until the 8th.

4. I'M MISSING THE SYTYCD FINALE :((( maybe we'll be able to watch it at my dad's? idk.

5. I need to be better at typing.

2. Pretty sure (though I could be wrong but I remember this is what I was told) is just, a jury. Like, because they don't have juries in other countries? And by "their peers", they mean the jurors are randomly selected for jury duty that live in their county, state, etc, so that they essentially pay the same taxes/live in the same place/etc. I don't think race, age, gender come into consideration so much as just the fact that they're "regular people" which, my guess, means it's a big effing deal in comparison to one's trial being decided by only a judge with no one else involved like Britain was probably pulling around the time of the Revolution.

idek BUT THAT'S MY TAKE.

I think "peers" means "other citizens". Which is why juries can be rigged to be (as an example) all middle-class white people while trying a working-class black person. Which I'm pretty sure has happened more than once.
