I'm a bit miffed that I have never been called to jury duty, since I do consider myself a “peer” in my community.
OTOH, if what minnesota_bound said is even partially typical of summoned jurists experiences, I would have a very different opinion of the whole process. But no matter what, I'm not a fan of punishment for citi()ens who for whatever reason, eschew jury duty. I'd probably get in trouble, if what I hear about plea bargains happened while I was seated on a jury, and would wind up in jail myself!
