What would lead you to strike a potential juror?

Most attorneys strike potential jurors who appear to resent that they have to be there.

If you sense that someone is eager to be a juror, how might that affect your decision?

It is not easy to tell whether a prospective juror is eager to serve. Even if an attorney can tell, that is not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing.

What’s the oddest excuse you’ve heard from someone trying to avoid being selected?

“I get claustrophobia in jury rooms.”
