Jurors

[Proud liberal 80]

Are most Americans too stupid, bias, racist, you name it to be impartial jurors?

1. I see your point

is very hard to get justice

2. Sadly, yes

3. I've long said that if I'm accused of a crime and am innocent,

I would waive my right to a jury trial and let the judge decide, if that's even possible.

5. Sadly

A lot of judges have become just as bad

7. True. nt

4. Many good potential jurors do everything they can not to serve

Effective attorneys may be able to shift venues, can certainly influence jury selection (including kicking a few out without even needing to justify it) and seem to be able to significantly sway decisions by appealing to bias and prejudice.

6. As a Juror,you may not here all the

evidence and the Instructions from the Judge can and could be very limited. And this should be blamed on the Prosecution . Only served once,but we as Jury wonder where the Prosecuting Attorneys received their Law Degrees or for that part,their License to even Practice. Plain and simple,we found out later this case should have been called a Mistrial.

8. Why yes

I believe that is true.
