He wasn’t even in the same room at the time.
I was called to jury duty today and of course I went bc civic duty. Usually they don’t use me but today I got to the juror interview part. They swear us all in. Everyone is in the same room and you state your occupation and spouses occupation children, grandchildren, and hobbies and juror experience. After that the prosecutor asks questions. If you have an answer you raise your hand and speak. You must answer any question asked truthfully cause your under oath.
I had an acquaintance who worked at the DA when they said her name I admitting knowing her.
Then they asked about auto theft had anyone in my life had their car stolen. I spoke on that and was told that case is similar to this one can I be impartial I said yes.
Then they asked if anyone had followed closely any cases in our county of national significance! I was THE ONLY one who said, Yes, I closely followed a national local case. He asked was it Kyle Rittenhouse case. I said YES. He asked if I formed any opinions about the DA or others involved in the case. I replied Yes the DA. He returned DA Binger? I said yes, DA Binger. He asked what was my opinion?
I said clearly and loudly that he was a liar and a master manipulator!
He asked if I could judge this case with him prosecuting I said yes but I’d know DA Binger if entered the room. He thanked me for my honesty and when all was said and done Chosen jurors stood up. I was not asked to stand up. I am sure I will never serve on a jury in Kenosha County ever for the rest of my life bc Binger is a piece of shit and I will always tell the truth!
So yes, Kyle saved me from jury duty.
The entire jury selection is bullshit.
It's a game the lawyers play to see who can stack the jurors in their favor the best. That's all it is.
If you've been robbed before then the defense (defending the robber) will get rid of you. Even though YOU as someone who's been robbed multiple times has ten times more experience about robberies than someone who's never experienced it in their lives.
It's all horseshit profiling IMO.
These lawyers shouldn't know ANYTHING about you as a juror. In fact, you should have complete anonymity..just like a voter does with who they voted for. They shouldn't even know your name..should be given a number only.
It should be completely random..no one gets thrown out because some dip-shit lawyer simply doesn't like a person's face..or a person's experience, etc.
The only thing there should be is a simple cognitive test just to make sure you're not completely stupid or brain dead. Other then that, these juries should just fill the next available juror seat with whoever is next on a random list. That's simple.
Think of all the wasted time these lawyers spend and how all the courts are all backed up because of this.
You’ve described exactly what it felt like. Passing a list of our names back and forth crossing us out or selecting the keepers.
