If you hate how this jury ruled [View all]

[Lee-Lee]

and you have ever shirked jury duty, made excuses to get off, or blown off a summons- you are part of what causes this problem.

Too many good, smart, level headed folks deem themselves "too important" or "too busy" to be on a jury. So who ends up on one? The people like B37.

How many potential jurors who would have been more just and could have been on that jury fought to avoid serving? We may never know, but anyone who has ever been called for jury duty has seen just how many people do that every day.

So sit back and ask yourself, if you have ever fought to get out of jury duty, who replaced you, and how might that have changed an outcome, and how might that have changed a life?

And make a pledge that next time you get called, make every effort to serve.
