(And even on those terms, it's not as if Zaentz actually made the films...)
Have you seen the court system? It's ALL about emotion. What happens in the court has to be outstanding to reverse someone's immediate choice I'd bet about 75-80% of jurors know within the first 5 minutes how they'll vote.

That may not be how the system is Supposed to work but as with anything on paper its perfect then once people arew involved it comes apart.

I'd like to point out I don't have much faith in juries...
