The Pulitzer Prize borad has not said that "Swamplandia" was not up to its standards. The only thing that they say is that it did not (nor did either of the other two books preesnted for the fiction prize that year) receive the majority of votes needed to award it the prize. there was no fiction prize awarded tht year (which has also happened at least ten other times).

What is the jury selection process?

Every court system has access to a pool of potential jurors. When a trial date is set, several dozen potential jurors are selected and notified to appear at the courthouse at a certain day and time. The jurors are then asked if this will cause an undue hardship (cannot take time off work, cannot maintain reliable transportation, etc.) - any who qualify in the judge's opinion are excused at this time. The remaining potential jurors are then questioned by the prosecutors and the defense - each can veto up to a certain number of jurors. When 12 jurors are agreed upon by the judge, the prosecution and the defense, as well as one or two alternates in case the seated jury loses a member, the remaining potential jurors are released from duty.

Why were there twelve jurors in Twelve Angry Men?

There have always been twelve jurors on any jury panels that I know of. Does something give you the impression there should be any less? I believe twelve individuals would be able to come up with the appropriate verdict much better than six. I only say that because I realize some cases only employ six to eight jurors. But, not in Capital cases!
