One trial I was selected for was a Dr. being charged with malpractice. I thought juries were selected to be “peers” of the accused. So why was a nurse excused?
What a great idea. If you happened to be accused of say bank robber, then you would want 12 ex bank robbers on the jury. I would think they’d be more sympathetic towards you than a bunch of prim and proper Karens.
I would think that for “a jury of your peers” in criminal trials, the jury should be composed mostly of lawyers, with the occasional politician and judge.

The judiciary is not expected to be this sympathetic in the town of the fink.
