I also point out that the difficulty of finding jury members that are independent and unbiased becomes enormous during high profile cases.

"Milligan and Surratt were not residents of states that had succeeded." ( I think you mean "seceded" )
Why is that relevant ?

I did, of course mean "seceded", thanks. I was pointing out the similarity between the cases of Milligan and Surrat.

People on trial at Nuremberg were not U.S. citizens. I don't think that has anything to do with Milligan or Surratt.

Yes, it's difficult to find "twelve men, good and true".
