I have been called for jury duty several times over the last 30 years. Each time, I am asked to fill out a form with several questions. One of them asks what I do for a living. I tell them (truthfully), “I am a Registered Professional Engineer (PE)”. After that, I have never been instructed to report for duty. I seriously don’t think they want engineers on a jury.
They obviously don’t want me on a jury because over the many years that I have been called (many times) I always show up. I have only been selected once.
I would love to serve on the jury!
Hamilton County, Indiana to me as a juror last year and I am registered. Maybe it is just you area
I agree with you brother...I just got kick off a murder trial jury after they spent 30 minutes questioning me on how I determine facts...(I do R&D Failure Analysis on military systems)
They didn’t want someone who would objectively determine truth...they wanted someone who would accept subjective opinion as fact.
I went into this event thinking to myself “I’m going to do this to the letter and spirit of the law” I did...and I got kicked the hell out!
Of course they don’t want engineers. They want people who watch daytime TV.
