patton, I just served on a (state) jury 5 months ago. Very interesting experience. Got to see a good lawyer vs a bad lawyer, and ruled accordingly.
I work in the newsroom of a local TV station. Wonder if that’s enough to get me bounced? I’m also related to a retired cop. That should help too.
Arrrgh - why do you want to get bounced?
Jury duty is a fundemental duty of a free citizen, and it keeps us free. Jury nullification is our last resort, to tell the bribed class (politicians) FU.
As for a federal grand jury, do you reallize you can indict anyone? For anything?
And for a regular jury, what constitutes beyond a reasonable doubt?
One guy was charged with murder in NYC - the prosecution said, 1 chance in a million it was not him.
Defense said, OK, twelve people in the city are suspect.
