Aragon Court - Please help me understand the risk involved with being a juror

Please correct me if I am wrong but if I am chosen as a juror and my opinion is not the one that wins the dispute, I end up losing all of my ANJ and that goes to the winners? Is this correct? This seems like you could have issues where the jurors selected are colluding with the plaintiff. It would be the equivalent of me hiring actors as witnesses and bringing them to court in order to validate my claims.

Clarification on this would be great.

You lose your locked tokens, which for each drafting is equal to 30% of the minimum stake required (currently 30% of 10,000 ANJ = 3,000 ANJ).

Jurors are drafted randomly, and in any case, if anyone feels that the result of one dispute round is incorrect then they can appeal and draft more jurors to rule on the dispute.

Currently jurors have 3,000 ANJ per drafting at stake. More info: https://help.aragon.org/article/43-dispute-lifecycle#drafting-jury
