I said the same thing at what had every appearance of being a frivolous civil case I was called for possible jury duty on. I had to go into the judges chambers and be grilled by the plaintiff attorney as to WHY I couldn't be impartial all the while being entered by the court reporter into the trial transscript. (rolling eyes)
'Impartial' and 'fair' may be two different things. If your instincts told you the lawsuit was frivolous, and the evidnce confirmed your suspicions, it would have been fair to society and the defendent if you had found against the plaintiff.
Well, at least you are honest. And I had to say it in the courtroom, in front of everybody. I felt like I had one of those "police grilling lights" pointed right at me.
I had to be honest with myself and I knew I couldn't possibly put aside how I felt.
