The largest problem with our legal system is that one is judged by 12 people who aren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

I got called for JD 2 years ago but I wasn't picked either. I was also stuck there for about 9 hours.

Ugh.

I think when they asked if we could be fair and impartial not taking the police officer's word as gospel made them cut me.

The ones that are on the jury are generally people with absolutely no experience or any understanding of the case they're hearing too. Law is a crap shoot.

I got out of jury duty in a Civil case once by telling the truth, the judge was laughing so hard he almost couldn't catch his breath as he excused me.
He asked if I had any problem with being impartial in the case, I said No Your Honor, I know the plaintiff, the defendant, both attorneys and can't stand any of them.
