“Juries are carefully selected among the most malleable people; judges can favor one side against the another - all this was seen aplenty in last years.”
Right you are! I’ve been challenged off of two juries that involved product liability. As an engineer, the lawyers representing the “defective product” wanted me gone immediately. They were looking for welfare mothers and retired blue collar types.
The major questions during voir dire were about awarding money for “pain and suffering.”
But as regards the microstamped shell casings a defense attorney has plenty of room to rule them out as well. I can’t imagine anyone not polishing off the firing pin on his semi on general principles the day he received the weapon.
I’ve been removed from jury pools on two separate occasions for having a copy of the Constitution in the breast pocket of my suit jacket.
