Would this get me out of jury duty?

Asked by SergeantQueen (13125

Completely hypothetical question.

A few years ago I was a victim of a crime. I felt the sentencing was B.S and I have a deep resentment for the criminal justice system. I am not joking either.

I feel that makes me very biased. I would feel wrong not articulating that.

If I have to serve, at the end of the day I would. But hypothetically, would my hatred of our system disqualify me?

If I were in your place, I would probably say that I’d had a bad experience with law enforcement that affected my attitude and that I’d have a hard time being impartial.

However, I can’t guess how the respective attorneys would respond.
