That the jury might have known 'diddly squat' about flying is frankly nihil ad rem.
When I was foreman of the jury on which I served, I had to remind some members of the judge's statement regarding consideration of evidence, including that we could only discuss the case when all members were present. If someone needed to go to the lavatory, then no discussion of the case could continue.
The jury in Andy Hill's case has given its verdict. Who are you to query that?
Quite!
The ignorant prejudice displayed by Brian W May and no doubt others is quite frightening!
