Well, you act like I shouldn't have been honest.

Do you think people are capable of putting life experiences aside to sit on a jury?

Well, I think they should be. Life experience is what should give people wisdom. The system depends on it.

I'm kinda hoping he will attempt to go through Kennesaw. Isn't that where all of the male residents (without criminal records, etc) are required by law to be armed? They'd be ready for him.

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!
