B2: I was once on a deadlocked jury... ugh. One of the most aggravating 2 days of my entire life.

I've been on jury duty twice and got put on a case both times.

i've given up ever being called for jury duty, it's clearly never going to happen. - Hockey Chick Mar 31, 09:24 15
- We just don't have as many jury trials here. - Reagen Mar 31, 10:01
- I really enjoyed it even though we were hung on the last charge - amoxy Mar 31, 09:32
- I really think we should start looking into volunteer jury pools, at least on a partial basis - znufrii Mar 31, 09:29 7
  - if it's not "random" then you bring bias into the scenario -- nm - zork Mar 31, 09:31 5
    - there's alerady an element of self-selection bias from the simple fact that some people will say anything to get out of service -- nm - znufrii Mar 31, 09:33 4
      - and some citizens never vote - Strongbad Mar 31, 09:35 3
