Being a juror would suck...you’d end up being “sentenced” to sequestration for probably around a year.
Not only that, but your family would have to be under 24 hour guard.
As a bonus, if you found for "guilty" (even if they got off because the Muslims on the jury voted for acquittal, which they inevitably will), you would be well known by Al Qaeda. You and your family's lives would be in danger permanently. Of course, your security would be withdrawn a week or so after the trial ended, and you can't even carry in New York City. Just imagine what a wonderfully graphic snuff video you would likely soon star in...
You're right. It would really suck to be "you".
