I've been on several juries, mostly civil. The only criminal one was for shoplifting. I must have one of those 'honest' faces - if I get on a panel I get picked, every time.
Lots of people complain about it, but I find it to be fascinating even if the case itself is dull. It never fails to amaze me just how seriously all the jury members take the job, knowing that their decision really does affect someone's life.
One of the attorneys told us after a trial that he's never seen a jury get it wrong. Quite a tribute to the system, I think.
