I was on several juries many years ago, when I worked for PCA (got paid by PCA, and got to keep the jury money as well- and boss encouraged participation).
In one trial, I got called up for questioning, after my boss was already on the jury panel. Lawyer knew of the relationship, asked me if I thought being on a jury with my boss would prevent me from coming to an independent decision. Told him I didn't think so. So he asks the boss if he thought I might be reluctant to take a different stand than him in deliberations. Boss says, without cracking a smile, "Well, he never listens to me at the office, don't know why this would be any different."
Since becoming a lawyer, I never get called anymore. A joke among the legal community is the definition of a jury trial- Where your fate is decided by 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
My 2 cents worth- I encourage jury participation, even if it is a bit of a sacrifice- I'd hate to be tried by a group that has nothing better to do, and would otherwise be at Walmart.
