I’m a retired engineer.
I guarantee you no attorney
Defense or prosecuting wants
me as a juror.
I spent my entire life making a
living on evaluating facts and
data to make decisions.
My personal feelings had very
little to do with those decisions.
Buildings fall down, airplanes crash,
et al, if I made decisions based
on my personal biases.
Of course you can filter Facts and data,
but you several other engineers
are looking over your decisions.
You won’t stay employed in that
profession very long if you are
not related to the client when
you make personally biased
decisions.
I like the idea of having juries
of only STEM degreed people.
Paid very well as they step out
of their normal lives to
provide society this service.
I avoided Jury duty like a plague
as I knew that it cost me money and
I would never be selected.
I don’t trust judges or cops.
as they have virtually no
oversight. Personal experience.
I’m very well educated, but
I’m also very experienced.
It’s true. Engineers make lousy jurors. They genuinely think they are special. Something about the profession attracts poorly socialized individuals.
I am also a retired engineer. I know exactly what you are saying.
Your song doesn’t rhyme.
“I guarantee you no attorney
Defense or prosecuting wants
me as a juror.“
Ditto.
