Re: Are you a scumbag if you escape serving on a jury?

If I ever went to trial for something (civil or criminal), I would be petrified by the simple fact that my fate was going to be decided by 12 people who were too dumb to get out of jury duty.

The converse is true as well... if somebody is on trial for murder, would it really be fair for the accused, who is entitled to a jury of his peers, to have me on the jury obviously NOT being one of his peers since I'm not stupid enough to kill somebody and get caught?
I would have to make a HUGE effort not to wipe my ass with "beyond a reasonable doubt."
