I was in the box once. The case was a murder trial. Prosecutor explained the evidence was heavily scientific, things like fibers. When he heard I was a patent attorney he looked at me curiously, like trying to figure out if I'd be good or bad. I'd have been bad. He was going to try and pitch "science=magic" and i have clients that make test equipment and put effort to invent ways to reduce errors.

D Counsel asked the pool, "Hypothetical, say we don't have the trial, we just ask you all now is my client guilty, what is your verdict." I told her it was sort of a silly question because Prosecution carries a heavy burden and we have not seen any evidence.

I can't remember which bounced me, and whether it was because I'd be a wildcard for their case, or just because I was an asshole.

Oh, but if looking at a 4 month trial I'd get myself bounced using the best trick I've ever seen- the Judge is doing the VD and asking some old guy questions, OG just kept saying "huh?" Got out right quick he did!

I got bounced very fast once for saying I didn't believe in home owners associations in a case where the HOA was suing some resident for non-payment of dues. In Texas, HOAs have massive power and in some circumstances can take your house.
