I was finally summoned for jury duty, and was scheduled to appear today, but when I telephoned this morning, our group had been dismissed. I was really disappointed, because I’ve always wanted to serve on a jury. I feel that if you ever get called to serve on a jury, you should do so willingly, and a verdict should not be reached lightly. If you are are going to reach verdict of guilty, you better be completely sure the defendant is guilty, and that the law being applied is fair.
Also, if you have never heard of jury nullification, I would suggest reading that entire article. I do not condone abusing your rights as a juror, but I do completely believe in reaching a fair and just verdict.
