Reply to comment by dvowel in Parkland prosecutors ask for an investigation after a juror says she was threatened by ‘a fellow juror’ during deliberations - CNN by SilentR0b

When they’re asking questions during jury selection, just say you think anyone who’s arrested is guilty. You’ll be sent home.

Years ago I was on a jury for a murder/attempted murder case. During jury selection, they asked if anyone on the panel had issues with our local police force. One guy stood up and ranted for a good five or six minutes about how he thought the cops were all crooked and he’d never believe anything they said. He went on and on. Finally, the judge broke in and just asked the prosecuting attorneys if they wanted to use one of their refusals. They of course did.

That guy knew what he was doing—he smirked and even commented to some of us as he left, “And that’s how you do it!”
