That Claremont police department Federal Employment Discrimination Claim case I was in the jury panel for but then got bumped by the judge had a retired CIA manager from Inverness on the jury. I was wondering why any Judge would pick a retired CIA official as a jury member as this would seem to be the person who would quickly take over the inner politics of any jury.

It is the "I'M watching you" reputation that the CIA has even if they spy only abroad.

Maybe having a trial involving a police department though had some affect on this choice?

By the way, the jury found against the cop who wanted to write his reports partly in Spanish and felt that he was discrimination against at his workplace because of harassment.
