That question posed to all potential jurors is an important question; "can you be fair"?
If you felt you could not than you did the honorable thing. I would like to think that fair-minded people would answer that question honestly.
I sat on a murder trial last year. I thought the whole process was beyond fascinating. I was intrigued from the moment I entered the courtroom and they began the jury selection process. I recall them asking potential jurors those very questions about their life experiences as it pertained to the case. I found myself hoping I would be selected and I was. I sat through the entire trial, a week and a half, and I ended up being the 13th juror!!!!!!
Talk about being depressed!!!!!!!!! After all that I wanted my opinion to count!

Well, I agree, but I guess I shouldn't reply as extraneous talk seems to offend some people. :-)
