I was called for jury duty. The judge asked if I had any reason to be excused. I said, “No: I have dated the prosecutor long enough to know she has a good case.” The defense did not want me on the jury. I was excused.
Likely the only way he would be on the jury is if the two sides ran out of challenges and he was the next one left. I have had about 12 jury voir dire summons and there have always been 30+ on the jury panel and you are seated 1-30 and each attorney can strike about 6 people. Most cases are civil which can last longer than criminal.
I’m willing to serve on a jury if I have transportation and if they can deal with a four wheel walker (on a good day) or a wheelchair ( on a bad day). The last 2 jury calls said no thanks.
My Asian wife was excused from jury duty because she honestly told the defense attorney the state wouldn’t be trying his client unless they were guilty.

When the attorneys ask if there is anyone in the courtroom you’re prejudiced against, just answer ‘all attorneys’ and you’ll be excused.

You know, I hate to say it, but there are a lot of Burls out there on jury duty.

I would rather plead guilty to a crime I did not commit than have one of these morons on by jury.
