“Proof is she could not get out of jury duty.”

Yeah. . .not as clever as all those smart people that avoid jury duty. . .you know, those people that brag about avoiding jury duty then shake their heads and tsk-tsk those insane jury verdicts.

Merely making a comment on the current social situation, good people are treated badly and bad people are exalted.

Particularly, in our jury system today, if you exhibit one iota of common sense, you are disqualified by voir doire. But if, to coin a phrase, you are a low-information voter, then the $25 a day looks like free money. Just a case of bad driving out good. My expert testimony has been commended in open court by a Federal judge for making a difficult subject clear... Lawyers are impressed. And I've been tossed out of jury selection numerous time in both State and Federal courts. I've looked at my fellow jurors in waiting and wondered just exactly what in hell was I doing there. Of course I've never been sat. So now I don't look down on those who avoid jury duty, they are my peers, not the jurors.
