What if over half of the jurors are religious? they all have to swear on the bible do they not? what if the person being judged is atheist? would that be unfair?

People who serve on jury duty often come back with interesting stories to tell.

Jury Duty service is VERY IMPORTANT :) it helps all the workers of America , take some time off and relax in court , while learning about the justice system and getting paid :)

100 percent pure propaganda. Chances are if you vote, you get jury duty. Your opportunity to railroad someone through the legal system. That is unless they're rich, white, and male.

Good to know that if i do not go to jury duty i will be fined and sent to jail for not hurting anyone.
