that should *I* ever need a jury, I would want someone like me sitting and deciding my fate. Thats why I choose to go every time I'm called. But as soon as a lawyer finds out you have ANYTHING to do with the possibility of even remotely handling police evidence they CANT use you.

For the past 35 years I've processed and printed film of autopsies, crime scenes, accidents, YOU NAME IT. I even have stated (under oath) that I could put aside any prejudice or preconceived notions and judge fairly..."Your honor we'd like to excuse juror # 15,20,5"...whatever number I happen to be. I get thanked and shoved out the door.

I think I've EARNED my pass from this process because now it's just a waste of my time and damit, I just dont feel well enough to go.

One time I was *even almost* tampered with, LOL. A defendants mother tried talking to me in the hallway. I of course, didnt know she was the guys mom but she was talking about the case. I had my jurors badge on. She broke the law trying to talk to me. I didnt even realize it till after I went home and saw her on the local news channel that night being interviewed. I was bumped from that trial too.
