Juries and Jurors

[AZrailwhale]

And how many for cause?

Unlimited for cause as it should be.

No you can’t usually not be excused because you have a job. Only if it would create hardship. I never even tried to get excused from jury duty. It called a civic duty. Losing one or two days pay won’t put anyone in the poorhouse.

What if it's a trial that lasts months?

As far as I'm concerned, I've done my "civic duty" by serving in the Army for 11 years. I really, really don't need to participate in the fraud we call a legal system.

here's my problem with juries... they only get to hear the evidence the judge and the lawyers agree upon. So you can look at the Rittenhouse Jury as a bunch of dunderheads, but they only got part of the story.

Yes, you have... just not very good answers.

And yet, it's never going to happen.

You weren’t excluded, you requested an excuse. One that I feel shouldn’t have been granted.

I did not.
