The [[Salem Witch Trials]] were an early example of abusive misuse of juries, whereby class jealousy was exploited in order to convict wealthier members of society.  To this day class warfare is commonly misused in jury trials to try to turn a jury against a defendant.  Political bias is also exploited, as in cases relating to [[Donald Trump]].
