And remember, people on jury duty are people who are too stupid to figure out how to get out of jury duty.
or have enough free time that being in the court for weeks on end doesn’t cost them a job. I have served on two juries. I would do it again because I do think it is part of my constitutional responsibility as a citizen. On;y problem is that these days no lawyer wants me on the jury
My father was called into jury duty, and got out by showing an international flight for a business trip booked for that date. They rescheduled. He arrives, and it is a room full of men in business suits. All professionals who are doing a re-do.
They were never called in and questions, as a stream of attorneys and young black and Hispanic men look into the jury room. After an hour or so, a bailiff comes in. Everyone considering a jury trial has made a plea deal, we no longer have any jury trials scheduled. You are free to go, thank you for your service.
