Pretty people never get chosen for juries.
Can confirm.
A story told me by an older prosecutor I used to be a co-worker with. He had a jury trial cross getting some guy with a lengthy record. One of the jurors was an absolute drop-dead bombshell liquor. In bordier she gave some extremely prosecutor friendly questions that indicated she was a strong supporter of police and yes would generally suspect that someone charged with a crime was probably guilty because the police did their investigation. To my co-workers shock, they didn't challenge the juror and left are on. After the defendant was convicted, as it was a pretty open-and-shut case, he asked the defense attorney why he left the woman on the jury.
The defense attorney replied that he talked it over with his client at the table during a break. He said his client told him the following. Look, you know I'm probably going to get convicted in do some years in prison. I know it too. So if I'm going to spend a few days in trial before that happens, I'd rather spend it sitting here looking at her.
