Unfortunately, this would not go over quite as well in the courtroom.
But, it's a great idea.

Did you find them guilty or innocent?

I sat on a murder case. Sequestered and all. Never, ever again. If
I ever get called I'd rather have the judge throw me in jail for
contempt than go through that again.

I'm exempt from jury duty.

That sounds like a mighty interesting case. I didn't know
throwing frugs was illegal.

How do you get that? I would like to be picked for a jury.
I've been called twice and not selected either time, a total
waste of almost a week altogether. The 2nd time it was an
engineering contracting fraud case, and the defense wanted
me on the jury so bad I thought they were going to bribe the
judge. But the other lawyer was right, I was prejudiced
against his client... don't like crooks!

Of course, with your IQ below 80 they won't let you judge anything. You
could just use a pic of your boat as a get-out-of-jury-duty-free card!

Bwahahahahahhahahaaha!

I don't know if it is the same today but back then (mid seventies) in
Mississippi, you show up for jury duty and when selected, if it was a
case that the judge determined required a sequester order, you never
go home. They call the individual you give them to bring clothes and
personal articles, and you are essentially locked up, two to a room
(with a stranger who might be an axe murderer themselves) in a hotel
(certainly not five star) escorted to and from on a county bus. You
eat all your meals with your fellow jurors in a private room or in the
jury room if still at court. No television during the news hour,
(today that would be hard) and no newspapers. You have no contact
with anyone other than fellow jurors and the baliffs for the duration.

This trial lasted a week, and over a weekend. By the time it was
over, I didn't much care what happened to the defendant, but I was
ready to kill several of my fellow jurors.

And despite the judge very clearly defining "beyond a reasonable
doubt" a number of times it is still subjective and you always will
worry about the verdict you reach, particularly in a capital case.

It is a horrible experience that no one should have to do twice. Thus
my position, contempt of court before I go again.
