You got to fill out the profile paperwork. Defense lawyers don't want white men who are not in a union, not going to school and work in the private sector on juries. I have been on jury duty over a dozen times and never once got picked. If they found out you were a conservative they will immediately dismiss you.

not true.

I have picked and been on juries. Each case is different.

You just never know what the lawyers are looking for OR if their “freebie” challenges will be used up before they get to you. The prosecutor may want a white male (despite race not being allowed) and the defense attorney may have used up their preemptions.

In a civil case, one lawyer may want someone who owned his own business or somebody who would be sympathetic to a charge of reverse racism.
