7. I have served on a couple of juries.

Helped convict someone of "felony stupidity", that was not actually the decision. He rented a big truck for a friend who did not have a credit card, he signed the contract. Friend left big truck on side of road with damaged tires and body. He did not think he was responsible, therefore felony stupidity due to value of the truck.

Always thought I would sincerely say that I would never vote for the death penalty, which I would not. That could disqualify you from a jury.

This guy could almost make me say "He deserves the death penalty".
