Well lots of grey areas, I'm trying to recall one jury I was on regarding a kid arrested for drunk driving and disputing the charge. The defense attorney was asking potential jurors if we had ever worked as police men, etc- which makes sense because it was thhe kid's work against the police officer's word. It is a question directed at whether a juror may or may not be able to render an impartial decision- that's fair. No problem there. I still don't like the questionaire thing. Maybe forget the expediency aspect and stick the tradition. It's worked fine so far.
Hey how about that woman prevailing? A jury is the free citizen's final hope again injustice. Juries may be imperfect but I'll always trust my fellow citizen over elected officials. I'd trust you guys being on my jury before a government pick.
