"In every trial, lawyers are allowed to dismiss jurors. Why don't you know this?"
My post argued that lawyers should not be allowed to dismiss jurors.
"Yes, you are supposed to be tried in front of a jury of your peers, so do you want gang members to only have jurors who are also gang members?"
Since we are all supposed to be created equal, I contend that any citizen is a peer of the defendant.
Now, since you obviously don't know anything at all about trials, juries, or voir dir ( sp? ), let me explain it to you.......
There is a thingy called voir dir ( which I'm really not certain how to spell ), which gives lawyers from BOTH SIDES, the right to dismiss ANY future juror, on their upcoming case. The reasoning behind this, is so that they can weed out people who have biases and/or something about them, which would prejudice their view of the case.
Sometimes, once juries are seated, one or more of the jurors express something or acts on such a way ( usually going alone to the scene of the crime, or doing something else that is ILLEGAL ) that once found out, they should and often do get them kicked off the jury. THAT'S WHY THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE JURORS PICKED !
Your post was dead wrong and uneducated. You really need to learn NOT to talk about things you neither know or understand anything at all about, which your last sentence proves beyond a shadow of a doubt. We aren't all "equal" at all.
