#4 ..Da Rulz (AKA the Uniform Code Of Military Justice) defines 'trial by ones peers' as meaning you are entitled to an all enlisted jury if you are an EM, and they can be of any rank. This has been challenged and upheld time after time. The prosecutors especially like it when an EM is dumb enough to ask for that option, because a jury full of E7s through E9s are likely to hang the guy far higher than an all-officer jury would.
