But... back to the subject...
The jury system is last power the people have when all other checks & balances have been abused.
When the law of the land goes against it's given authority then the jury has the right... yea even the duty... to judge the law.
At a jury trial, these days, you will be told that you are not here to judge the law... you are here to judge whether this person broke the law as it stands.
2 words... "they lie"
A juror can judge the law and hold the law prisoner by withholding a guilty verdict and entering not guilty.
Of course if they get even an inkling that you are aware of your power, authority and responsibility as a juror you will not be picked.

Why did they put a rifle to your head?
That doesn't make sense to someone from Texas. Is that how Ca does things???

OH, I guess that was TMI. I can not get into further detail at the moment. It had nothing to do with jury duty.

You could be prosecuted and perhaps the only reason you have not yet is they never get to your pool to begin with.
Last year I tried to get out of it because of my health issues, but they did not accept that without a doctors order. By the time I found out it was too late. I called in and discovered that they had not even gotten to my lot yet before they had picked a jury so it was no big deal
