i beat jury duty. they asked "does anyone have a problem with the criminal justice system generally?" and I raised my hand of course. how could you NOT have a problem with it?
i told them i still wanted to serve, although the whole deal of personal responsibility for another person's fate when you judge them guilty or innocent is to me, and I think should be to anyone, a deeply troubling issue.
the prosecuting attorney released me. too thoughtful a juror never did any good for a prosecutor.
