Great post. Lots of thinking into this one. If I had to be a juror for a spcific case, it would be rape. I would want to get him off the street and say "guilty"

Thank you for the compliment. I did have to think about this one quite a bit. I was reflecting back in my past a bit when I had to serve for a capital murder case. I would want a major crime as well like rape, murder or something else really bad.

I only survived two days in this case as I became ill and the judge had to dismiss me. I was really sick as I ended up missing work for a whole week as well as the two days of jury duty so I do not know what happened. It was interesting during the time I served. I did not find it stressful at all.

How did it go for you? Was it extremely stressful?

I would go with the murder case. I have my degree in Criminal Justice/forensics and I would love for them to walk through the case and me able to use my education.

On this one, I think I would have to say that I would like to work on a case involving rape or murder. I love CSI, and Law and order, and picture myself working the jury in the cases they represent...lol....not quite the same, I know, but thats how Im thinking!

I have never served before but i did have to fill out a paper last year to serve sometime this year.When they do call me i think i would to be a juror for a murder or rape.I chose those two because those criminals need to be locked up and the key need to be thrown away forever

I would want to have something to do with a major crime. Only because I am able to pay attention to details and not be swayed from the truth by persuasive speaking. I can see the truth for what it is and not what someone wants to present it to be.
So, for me, I think I would do best for those of murder or rape.
However, I would never want to do a case that is about child abuse. I could not handle seeing pictures of a child beaten. Only for the fact that I have been the one in those pictures before and I have not been able to handle seeing anything since. I could not imagine hurting a child like that! I could not handle seeing pictures or hearing the story because I would be emotionally drawn in and would not be able to think clearly.

Personally I wouldn't want to be on a jury at all but if I had to, it wouldn't matter one way or the other what type of case it was, I have other things to do in my life to be bored with other than that, *laugh*.

I would like to do anything that wouldn't endanger my life later. So, maybe everything but rape, murder and theft.
