I sympathize with the notion of losing money and or just simply wasting your time in a process you may not have any faith in.

But the idea floated of using professionals or even worse the bored and elderly is a bad idea. It's limits demographics badly during jury selection. I consider myself a fairly upstanding citizen. I've been employed since 16, better than average educated, and have never been in any real trouble.

But I look like a scumbag from a heavy metal show. I'm covered in tattoos and currently wearing a Metallica shirt. If in the event I had to go through a trial by jury I wouldn't want to be staring down the barrel at 12 senior citizens who are nowhere near a jury of my peers.

Another metallica fan
I still have kill em all and ride the lightning in the closet.

A jury needs to be objective and look beyond a persons appearance.

Unfortunately,when you get a disgruntled juror,who may be upset over loosing pay,the objectivity diminishes.

Myself,knowing the people,i had to get past the fact that they were gold diggers,blew through a lot of money,then wanted $150,000 in damages,not caused by the party they were sueing.
