"How many of us, IF we had the time to serve, would make it onto the jury? I would definitely be thrown off because my brother is an attorney and most importantly because I had a baby the week Connor was to be born."

I think most of us regular posters would be rejected. I imagine they would look for people who haven't visted web sites on this topic or posted to chats or discussion boards. If you were picked, could you be fair? Interestingly, I think I could. I'm very good at being objective/analytical when I need to be and I do believe that people deserve fair trials. I thought it was interesting that the questionnaire asked if the respondent had training in psychology/counseling, etc. Is that something the defense wants or doesn't want? Mmmmmm I'm not terribly knowledgable of jury selection, although I do think it is more art than science. It's easier to predict individual behavior than group behavior.

Interesting julie. I wonder which way the Defense wants it in relation to your occupation???

I would think that the defense would want someone like you on the jury...isn't a part of your profession to be objective? I think that would make you a most effective Doc.

I think so, but I am at this point, from the "evidence" I know about, 100% sure he is guilty. I think that in general, I would be a very fair juror, and one thing good about me as a juror is that I would have courage to stand alone and vote for what I thought was the truth even under pressure from others.
