Here is a one of the best ways I can think of to fight back corruption and games played on the system in this case and similar cases. Polling all those who are in the initial jury pool from which juries are selected or polling all those at or above the minimum age for jury service in the area from which juries could be called for service to that court can show us how much did the verdict of those six juries was in line with or diverged from the bigger group. That could cast the best light on how truly those juries were selected through a fair process. The polling needs only to contain one question about what would have the polled person voted had he/she been a member of that jury, guilty, not guilty or neither. Signatures of those polled should be included in addition to their names. The whole list should then be made accessible through the web so that those polled can make sure that no change happened to the votes they selected.
Despite the fact that they constructed a jury with the minimum number of persons, still, let's see what is the probability of selecting that number of juries without any one of them voting guilty or staying neutral from the first attempt.
