most of the time, the case will settle and the group wil be called off. But one time, I was sent home right away for being a journalist, even though I was a total rookie and didn't really do much more than filing...I guess that I may tell my editor juicy details was their worry...
too bad, I wanted to serve as well. I agree that it is a problem when the thing that makes a fair trial is the actual presence of a jury. AND they should be screened for some bias, but not filtered to predict the verdict that the state wants. It is yet another example of this government's degradation, and that it runs into the smallest of departmental levels. When judges and lawyers are so quick to dismiss a person for duty, or a trial, etc..they are undermining the entire system. And more shades of Guantanomo become ever present....
