Alston said his stepfather was an FBI agent and his father and uncle were retired agents. He didn’t indicate he was a prospective agent himself.
Alston said he was working as a civil attorney, though he had been recently laid off.

Wouldn’t the fact that his family had “FBI blood” already present be enough in itself to disqualify him?
If not, then the fact he was in a transitional state should not be seen as a major violation... but I admit I am not legally trained. Thank God I opted to not pursue law as a life endeavor nor politics.
LOL. Every time I've ever met a lawyer or politician, I always walked away thinking, "There but for the grace of G*d..."
“Wouldn’t the fact that his family had “FBI blood” already present be enough in itself to disqualify him?”
So you’d think. I have been called for jury duty every other year for at least 12 years. Every time I go, there are lawyers and other LE personnel in the group and to date NONE of them have ever been excepted on a jury with me. The same applies to their spouses, siblings, and children.
Evidently the attorneys who selected the jury didn't think so.......
