This is the reason normal people should not try to avoid jury duty.

For most people, the most power they will ever have to stop abusive government, is when serving on a jury.

Agreed which is why I do not understand the almost universal reluctance and even hostility toward jury duty. Especially among conservatives.

What is really strange is when the same people who advocate for a military draft scream like a turpentined monkey when asked to take a few hours to sit in a court room and decide if someone actually broke a law and should be punished or not.
