(8,624 posts)the jurors were not treated like criminals. the jurors themselves don't have to do anything wrong to receive information they should not have during a trial. there are good reasons for sequestration of jurors.
and reasonable people know the importance of doing their civic duty of serving on a jury, and the necessity of following the rules. selfish, immature, irresponsible, unreasonable people are the ones who try to escape jury duty, and make snarky comments about "well, if you're not smart enough to get OUT of jury duty..."
that shit pisses me off. i was proud that i was picked to serve on a jury for a serious crime. i was honest in my answers to the questions asked by the prosecutor and the defense attorney. i would have served as jury forewoman, but i was the youngest juror, and someone who had served on a jury before was chosen to be foreman.
