Don't worry. They wouldn't pick you. They'd make sure that every member of the jury attested that they believed corporal punishment was wrong in every last situation, or they'd be dismissed. If 120 people showed up, and 90% of them believed in corporal punishment, they'd pick the other 12. That's the game.

I know. I've been tossed from juries before.

I never get picked for jury duty.
For some reason, most lawyers don't want computer programmers sitting on their jury. Might be the logic thing, who knows.
Last time, the judge asked all of us, "Do any of you belong to an organization that campaigns for harsher sentences for gun crimes?" I stood up and answered, "Yes, your honor."
"What organization?" he asked.
"The National Rifle Association," came my reply.
I swear the defense attorney's head damn near came off.
