My experience was during selection the first question was “Are you a college graduate?”. The defense wanted NO educated people on the jury.
neither side wants educated people on juries most of the time. Well, in criminal cases at least.... I have seen it time & time again. The more educated you are, the less likely you’ll get chosen. I was surprised the gov’t teacher even made an “alternate”...
I always avoid telling my educational background at jury duty (I want to serve on a jury)... but I have been 3 times and all 3 times got as far as them asking my level of schooling. Every time, I was dismissed not long after the words “master’s degree” left my mouth, one time it was immediately...so much that I thought, “well, they aren’t even trying to hide what kind of jurors they want”
