Reminds me of one time when I was in court when they were picking a jury. One of the prospective jurors was a cop's wife, and the defense attorney asked her if her being married to a law enforcement officer would cause her to more strongly believe what an officer testified to. She smiled and said that she would totally believe what ANY officer said in court.
Not only was she immediately excused, but they ended up starting over with another jury pool, since the defense attorney claimed that the first one was tainted.
I don't ever expect to be on a criminal jury for the same reason as yours. But so far, I have never been called, while my wife has been summoned 3 times (but never selected). In my retirement, being a juror would be kind of interesting, I think. But I don't think you can sign up for it.
I saw lots of juries being picked during my career and decided that both the prosecution and defense did not want people seated that were too well educated or too intelligent. And after sitting through a lot of trials, my opinion is that most jury verdicts are about as accurate as a coin flip....which is not so good. If I was ever charged with a crime and actually did that crime, I might ask for a jury trial to see if they would let me off somehow, but if, in fact I was not guilty, I would never trust my fate to a jury. Most judges are a lot more predictable and in my experience usually get verdicts correct.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
