A few years ago I was called for jury duty in different jurisdictions three times in a six month period. I am the guy who defense attorneys dismiss first, so I did not have to sit on any of the juries. One of the trials was for murder, and around 40 potential jurors where brought in to be interviewed by the attorneys, 12 at a time with the remainder watching from a waiting room. One prospective juror in the first 12 answered a question a certain way and was immediately dismissed. The next three prospects answered the question the exact same way and were dismissed before the judge got wise and directed the attorney to ask different questions.
