Someone I know got out of jury duty, because during selection he was
asked a hypothetical question about capital punishment. His answer was
something flowerdy, like.

"I wish to be a fair person and I believe in jurisprudence, And to
uphold the integrity of this honored court. I also believe that if the
evidence would weigh heavily against the defendant I would move that
we hang the little B*st*rd and get on with life.

"Thank you, you are dismissed"
Last case I got called for was a murder 1, capital case. Asked my
opinion on the death penalty, I stated I can go either way. That we
really do not have a death penalty in this state as it takes years if
ever to execute. Costs 10 times the amount to keep them for life. So I
am inclined to go for life without parole, but I would have no problem
with them getting a death penalty. Was not the reason they did not like
me for the jury,



What was the reason...... ?


Failure to bathe regularly? :)


I keep telling you to not judge others by yourself.
