I’d never trust a jury for any highly technical matter such as this. Prosecutors have shown they can be highly effectively at spinning even the most basic security research into sounding like serious criminal behaviour (like punishing someone with serious jail time for incrementing the id number in a URL and finding other users personal profiles completely unprotected).

You only gamble on juries for stuff like murder trials and similar basic crimes.
