BR 2001. 2nd degree murder. Guy entered a trailer with a screwdriver and killed a couple gays. I was questioned in the jury box about the defendants right to not testify. The judge didnt like me too much with my responses about "well if i was not guilty i would testify...how can someone stay quiet if they didnt kill the people?" I was dismissed 
Guy was convicted btw

Me? No.
A friend was on a NYC jury for an adult male accused of molesting a very young girl. The man got away with it, even though my friend swears the evidence was absolutely overwhelming. (
after the fourth 'hung jury' of 11-1, he finally relented and just voted not guilty with everyone else. )
My friend is a really over-educated PhD, lily-white liberal type who was horrified at the behavior of the mostly black, mostly female jury he was a part of.
I first heard this story in 2013, and it was the first time I started to waiver from my otherwise bulletproof liberal beliefs.

Wait wait. The jurors got confused that the prosecution sealed that bag and that's not how the drugs were originally found?
Well, you are entitled to a jury composed of your peers.

Have been exempt from jury duty since I changed jobs six years ago. The courts need me out doing my job more (reviewing cases involving the criminally insane) than they need me sitting in a jurors' box. Jury duty is an important responsibility of citizenship. After I retire, I might give it a try.

part of a jury pool, that hasn't been seated
Two guys on trial for simple theft, from a inside of a car at the car wash they worked at. Shocked that something like this goes to trial in New Orleans. But one of the defendants had priors, guessing it might have sent him back to prison for a spell.
As soon as we all take our seats the judge reads the charges and the other defendant announces he wants to change his plea to guilty. The look on the other defendant's face was priceless.
They picked a new jury that found him not guilty.

Mrs. Füt has been on the Grand Jury several times.
Interesting stuff although she "can't" talk about it.
I know people so I get out of jury duty.

WTF? Instead of going to the police??
She should be in prison.
