I' ve been called for jury duty 6 or 7 times in both federal and state court. Every time I am summarily dismissed by the defense. Why? Because they don't like older white men with conservative views, they love liberals with bleeding hearts and minorities in my experience.
Now I know this is anecdotal since I've only been involved 7 times but that is my experience and the experience of others I've talked to while sitting in the courtroom waiting to be dismissed.
How could this woman not be guilty of aggravated child abuse when she failed to report a missing two year old for a month? Disgusting.
I know most of the attorneys in this town and NONE OF THEM want me on their jury, guaranteed.
