RE: [dvd-discuss] New date for Jon's trial

[Richard Hartman <hartman(at)onetouch.com>]

Interesting, the concept of including lay assessors
on the panel.  I assume that these are not true 
laymen, as would be selected for a jury (the average
man off the street) but would rather be people selected
for their experience in the subject matter being 
adjudicated? (i.e. technology)?
