Back in the mid 70’s I was called for jury duty...it was a 1st degree murder trial...each of us was called individually into the court room and quized by the attorneys and the judge.
I was asked, ‘Will you believe the testimony of a police officer because he is a police officer?’
My answer, ‘Absolutely not...I will weigh his testimony just like I will weigh the testimony of anyone else testifying in this trial.’
I was seated on the jury.
