When the judge is bragging to the jury pool about how great our justice system is, you speak up. “You mean like the the Supreme Court refusing to hear the election fraud cases and dismissing them as moot?”

I love jury duty, you learn things about our Justice System and Society sitting there.
But mainly I love it because it is 'my' chance to help keep it between the ditches. We desperately need honest citizens to be jurors, most jurors I've sat with are inner city lower educated folks who have no ability to follow complex arguments or evidences, and often times they vote based on color or other affiliations, trust me.
Last jury I sat had these two hispanic females, both were attitudinal, one had argued extensively with the Judge about not wanting to be selected. But both of them did swear they would uphold the law based on evidences presented. Trial was a black guy living with a pregnant hispanic girlfriend , he was busted selling meth, had a lot of meth in the car. He claimed he didn't know the meth was in the car, said he had just recently bought the car. Nothing he said was true, we discovered during the trial, he was obviously guilty of the single charge plus a lot more he was not charged with. The two attitudinal hispanic females both admitted he was guilty but didn't want to punish him, one said her brother was a drug dealer and she understood, the other said she didn't think selling meth should be criminal.
We adjourned that day, next morning the one hispanic female came in wearing a Che Guevara shirt, yes she did, and was refusing to punish the guy, we already knew the court had offered him a plea bargain of 5 years prior to trial. We wanted him to serve time, but Che kept saying no, probation is all she could agree to. I had to call the bailiff and explain to him that both the women told the court they would follow Law but now look at Che, she refuses to honor her Oath to the court. He went and fetched the Judge, the Judge saw the shirt and was not amused, he explained to her she swore to follow the Law, she had already voted guilty and so now she would either sentence him or he would hold her in contempt.
Sorry long story but that's why we need honest citizens, far too many cases end up with no justice because of that kind of stupid shiite. If you don't participate then you have very hateful low informations inner city ignoramuses deciding matters, NPCs really.
Show up, stand up, be counted.
