Or as someone once said, “The people on jury duty are the ones who were too stupid to figure out how to get out of doing jury duty.”
LOL! Very good, I’ll remember that!
Seriously? I’ve always looked at jury duty as a privilege, and I don’t consider myself stupid by any means. It’s a sobering duty to be put in a position to make decisions based on what’s heard in a court room, as the decision made affects another person and that person’s future. I can’t believe I’m different from most people who sit on a jury in that, regardless of the severity of the charge, the full weight of the obligation doesn’t leave until that final decision is made...and sometimes that weight hangs around for awhile.
And those that say that are the first to bemoan silly and insane verdicts by the same jury. . .
