Real estate person. If he does jury service, who is going to look after his pet? O___o
Gamestop Employee with conservative views
Little League coach involved in town activities for children
College student with left wing views
Veteran with combat experience
Builder whose served time for shoplifting 20 years ago
Brain surgeon whose faulted on taxes once
Retired criminal lawyer
Bank employee who's a mother of a crime victim
Former cop whose seen enough criminal cases to make him quite preceptive
Forensic scientist with full knowledge in the field
Professor of Criminal Justice with law enforcement experience
Real estate agent who lives alone with a pet
State government employee who's not so hot on capital punishment
Okay, this is sort of a game/study where we got a criminal case here where the defendant is facing death or life without parole if convicted, so let's select the best jury for it. By that I mean one of these people must be denied at the selection process. None of these individuals, except the state employee, have a strong opinion either way on capital punishment. If I were a lawyer, I'd eliminate the bank employee because for one, I do not want to subject her to the emotional pain that might occur in the case due to a family member being a crime victim. Also, her opinion might be swayed because of it.

They always eleminate physicians or anyone who could otherwise be used as an expert witness because those are the ones they usually call to cement an argument one way or the other..

I choose the Lawyer.
He'll probably stick up for the other lawyer = hes biased = unfair.

I'll eliminate college students with left wing views... they are the worst type, they usually are the ones who do not use their brains but truly convinced that they do.
Depending if I am a prosecutor or if I am the defending lawyer.
If prosecutor I would eliminate the criminal lawyer because he would side with the defendant.
if the defending lawyer I would eliminate the forensic scientist because they work on crimes of all sort and usually will side with the prosecutor and help them convince the juries that the defendant is guilty during decisions. hehe
I'd get rid of the veteran because he's been involved in combat and could be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Some of the problems associated with PTSD are anger, hyper vigilance, fear, flashbacks, anxiety, reliance on drugs/alcohol, guilt, memory problems, and depression etc - not the makings of a good juror. I'd be very surprised if someone who's been in combat doesn't have any of the above. But I'd be more worried if they weren't affected at all. That would make them totally abnormal. Maybe even psycho.
But veterans move on with their lives even though they still suffer. I mean, I had a teacher in high school who served in Vietnam and he didn't have any flashbacks or anxieties in class.
