I’m happy to serve on a jury. I have considered volunteering to serve in our county since I’m retired and have free time.

Once, I got kicked off during voir dire. It was a DWI case. The defendant’s attorney asked if I thought there was any reason when it would be OK for someone to drive drunk. I said no.

I guess they’re used to people trying to “get off”, so it was clear they didn’t believe me. They pushed it, and I said our family is totally opposed to it. The guy continued to push and said basically to prove it.

“My husband was president of MADD for 10 years in Xxxxx (I named the state). I was GONE!!

WTF? What answer did he expect? Who, exactly, would ever say "yes"???
