    If people with intelligence and empathy skip out on jury duty, that leaves idiots and sociopaths to judge the accused.

      Well unfortunately I have a job and a mortgage. If the trial goes longer than the few days that my employer is forced to pay me, and I’m stuck with the $50 a day the state pays, I’m fucked. I don’t consider living on the street a civic duty.

        That’s fair and I’ve had to bail on jury duty for the same reason, although I was able to participate once.
