I just served on a jury for a criminal trial (a police officer tipped off a suspected pedophile about an investigation).
The very first people to go were the idiots who couldn't string a sentence together. After that it was anyone who expressed the slightest anti-cop sentiment. The judge didn't even make the lawyers waste blackballs on them, she just summarily dismissed them for cause. The jury was two software engineers, a contractor, a pastor, some stay-at-home moms, a mechanic, a teacher and a geologist.
