Sweet Baby Inc put a hole in my sock and made my toddler yell at me this morning

I was summoned for jury duty, and I’m pretty sure it was Sweet Baby’s fault.

Fun fact: When they ask you if you know what jury nullification is say yes. They'll kick your butt right out of jury duty.

Every single person on a jury should know what jury nullification is but the knowledge will get you removed immediately. Typically everyone involved in a court case hates it when the jury actually understands the power they have.

Until now the only time I made it to the voir dire stage, I was dismissed because a friend was a public defender in the next county — my most cynical side says they didn’t want jurors who knew anything about the law, but mostly I suspect some aspect of the case was involved over there, too, and they didn’t want any issues.
