If we start voiding sentences because of jury selection nonsense like that then the vast majority of criminal cases will be tossed out tomorrow.
The court system has been playing those games for decades, and they are only pretending that its a problem right now because it benefits them. Tomorrow they will make sure to pack it exactly with the right amount of anti-death penalty members who are also men who will fall for a crying woman defendant.
The last few months should have taught you that when it comes to judges the rule is:
I am god here and you will do whatever I say, because if you argue with me I will ruin you in some other manner.
Don't ask questions, just accept they are impartial and the arm of justice. And that decades of Judge Judy and others on tv screaming at people and changing sentences for slightly upsetting them is just for tv and totally not how it works everyday.

I don't understand how a judge can vacate a sentence but not overturn the verdict? Isn't it the same jury that decides guilt and sentencing?
