As a court clerk, I am well-versed in the
jury-selection process. First a computer randomly selects a few
hundred citizens from the entire county to report for
jury duty on a particular day. Then another computer
assigns 40 of those present to a courtroom. Then the 40
names are placed in a drum, and a dozen names are
pulled.
During jury selection for one trial, the judge asked
potential Juror No. 12 if there was any reason he could
not be a fair and impartial juror.
"There may be," he replied. "Juror No. 1 is my
ex-wife, and if we were on the same jury, I guarantee we
would not be able to agree on anything."
Both were excused.
