“The defense attorneys would love it- aimless, malleable, ambivalent jurors are easily led astray.”
I’ve been challenged off every jury for which I’ve ever been sent. Defense lawyers want people who are “good with awards for pain and suffering,” and they don’t look for anyone who has an opinion about anything. Result: old people and welfare mothers. Was on a criminal grand jury once for a week. Now that’s a whole different ballgame. You really get a clearer picture of the underbelly of our society there.
