My greatest fear is to be tried by twelve people who were not smart enough to get out of jury duty!

Kind of a strange opinion I think.
I have always considered it a citizens responsibility serve as an impartial arbiter of the normal lawyer bullsh!t.
I know what the says, but the law isn’t always right.
I once had the privilege to argue with my fellow jurors for about 2 hours to make sure a little old lady didn’t get railroaded by the garbage testimony of an over eager cop.
Another time to convict a drug dealing murderer over the objections of the hippy and the anti death penalty rubber head on our jury.
