Speaking as a former prosecutor, I agree with Chedva that if you are on a jury panel for a criminal case, you will have plenty of opportunity to state that you could never convict in any case. You will not be selected as a juror. For those of you who are making derogatory remarks about the prosecution side of a criminal trial, please know that there are parts of this country where it is almost impossible to get a guilty verdict, no matter how much evidence the prosecutor has. I know, because I worked in one such area of the country.
