I’m a retired electrical engineer. I was recently called for jury duty. The case was to involve a lot of forensic accounting over a period of six weeks. Sitting in the jury pool I thought I’m the perfect person for this. If I make it to the interview, I’m in for sure. Well, I was one of the last to be interviewed. When I was asked about my education and career I heard someone in the courtroom comment “wow, a smart one”. I was quickly sent home. I came to find out the person who made the comment was the judge. I also discovered later that my barber knew one of the chosen jurors. She described him as “stoned pretty much 24/7”. So much for the legal system.
I worked corrections 35 years Try getting on jury with that job.
I’m a RE broker now. Engineer clients drive me crazy.
Best wishes.
