a jury trial is one of the blessings of a free country. When one thinks about he could have been born somewhere else on the planet where jury trial by peers is not the case, the fear of being wrongly arrested by the gustoppo and imprisoned is real.
In an age where people in our great country little by little give away their freedoms for the sake of feeling safer about things, the complacency of attitude grows until men will give away their rights to an impartial trial or even their guns and right for personal protection.

The last time my dad was summoned it was something like challenging a traffic citation, or something to do with driving. He got called in to interview and they asked him if he had any immediate conflicts with the case. Well it turned out of the two cops that were being challenged, one had his daughter taking volleyball lessons from him and the other cop my dad had known from the dinosaur days. Needles to say, the defense immediately sent him home. On the way out he waived at the cops and said "see you tomorrow" hahaha.

I’m on the opposite of most folks here, if I can get out of it (legitimately) I’m not going. I have other responsibilities that don’t go away if I’m missing work, therefore it puts a huge extra burden on me. Maybe one day I’ll be the one needing a jury, but I still wouldn’t blame folks for getting out.
