[QUOTE="rod, post: 431400, member: 5382"] From my experience a person can get excused from most any trial during the jury selection process by just answering the lawyers questions in a way that won't be benificial to their clients case. The question that got most jurors excused was-- Do you have anything against alcohol? If they said that they were totally against it they were dismissed imidiately. It seems like in every case being tried part of the defense was "I was drinking and can't remember what happened". I was on 7 different cases and in everyone of them (both civil and criminal) alcohol was used as part of the argument as to why something did or did not happened. P.S. In case you haven't figured it out - I don't have anything against alcohol--- [/QUOTE]
