I have no experience with the American legal system. Before WWII we had a jury system but the decisions were supervised by professional judges. Today there three professional jadges plus two laymen. I have read a bit about the trial and to me it seems the CSX attorneys were to sure the two NOs would be enough. They just called one witness, the film crew member that tried to get permission and who refused to take part in the shooting. If you know of the difficulties laymnn have to understand train physics you should try to teach the jury I think. I completely agree with BaltACD. In railroading you have to make decisions so early that the situation can change completely in time until impact. If a situation unfolds differently to the train crew's judgement and expectations it may be too late for stopping in time. Regards, Volker
