You need to be able to tune out human suffering or thrive on it. I couldn't do either.

I don't think that I'd ever have to sit on a trial for anything to do with a child. I'd easily tell them that I have 3 kids and that anyone who ****s with kids needs to fry. Pretty sure I'd get off on that one.
The worst thing about jury duty in my mind? Sitting in a closed room with 11 other people....some of them being complete ****ing idiots.
