I honestly couldn’t imagine a lawyer EVER wanting another lawyer on the jury lol

Though they would be the few people actually qualified for that job^^. It will never not baffle me how in the USA, they just let random people decide on someone's fate, even if they know nothing about the justice system.

Is that not the case in most countries? It is in the UK and I thought that was the norm

Just common law countries (Anglosphere). So USA, UK, Australia, and Canada, with possibly a couple more countries added in. Most other countries don't use juries, or do so only exceptionally.
