I hate the shithead, but I could still sit on the jury and base a verdict opinion on the facts as presented in court.

It wouldn’t be easy for either side to figure that out during jury selection, but that’s something big law firms have specialists for. Folks that do nothing but sift through juries and pick the best options they can get.

Weeding out the assholes that would make their decision on their preconceived alliances is a high dollar, and high stress thing. And then you have to hope that you don’t have anyone faking it so that they can sway the verdict based on that, and deal with people desperate to avoid sitting on the jury at all.

Ngl, my crippled ass would be trying to avoid it despite believing very strongly in the importance of jury duty. Weeks or months of sitting there in pain, applying self discipline to separate my beliefs and emotions from the facts as presented? Fuck no, that’s a fucking nightmare.

I was fucking miserable during my last jury duty, and that was only three days on a very simple attempted murder case. No fucking way am I not trying to get out of something like this trial lol.

But I’m not unique in my willingness and ability to minimize my own bias for specific and limited situations. There’s plenty of people that will at least try.

And, believe it or not, there are people that don’t have strong beliefs about the shitty cheeto.

But, yeah, jury selection is going to be a nightmare on this one
