Red? With your experience with courts have you ever served on a jury?

Every time I have been summoned for jury service as soon as I tell them I have a law degree someone challenges me and bumps me from the jury pool. This happened in Sonoma County (@1995), Pinellas County (2003), and just this year at the Federal Courthouse in Ocala which covers federal cases Marion, Sumter and Lake Counties.

I did not even bother with Sumter County's drive down to the County Seat when a summons looked imminent. I mentioned I had a law degree to the County Clerk and got bumped from the jury pool.

The Federal case looked really interesting too and would have loved to have heard the lawyers arguments about employment discrimination based on a Lake County cop's use of the Spanish language in his various police reports.

I have no real opinion about the Morse family or friends guilt with respect to poaching yet. I need to see more of the particular facts without any slant on them. Need to know the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How of the case(s).
