I never get called for Jury duty anymore. Was never picked when I showed up, so I discussed with the county clerk. I haven’t been called for 25 years. Hubby gets called every 3 or 4 years.
I got called and subsequently picked for jury duty once. I am in a pretty conservative law-and-order area so my responses to questions are average for our area. I surprised myself by being one to argue in the jury room for the defense. A lady was (in my opinion) trying to railroad a deputy sheriff. Verdict was not guilty unanimously. Lady couldn’t even keep her story straight on the witness stand and came across as a spiteful witch. Was not even a serious charge against the man but his job was on the line. This was 20+ years ago. Being in a sparsely populated area I’ve made it a point to listen to any local chatter about the man and his kin. Sounds like we were correct in our verdict and gives me a fraction more faith in our jury system.
