Thanks for sharing that, jb.
I have only had one experience as a juror.
Out of about 100 prospective jurors interviewed by the lawyers, I was chosen in a trial to determine the amount
of damages owed to a land owner by the local utility who had used eminent domain to seize an acre of land.
A previous trial had already determined that the utility had not fairly compensated the land owner.
I think I was chosen because I had worked for some years in land development, and I was the only one on
the jury with any such experience.
The utility had offered about $4,000 for the acre of land (for a sub-station, iirc) which fronted on a 4-lane road
about 2 miles from the center of a small city. City growth was pushing toward the land parcel. The utility used a
"comparable" value equivalent to an acre in flood plain with no road access. The fair value was determined
in the trial to be about 75 times that offered amount using testimony from several real estate brokers and
actual similar land sales nearby.

I got called to jury twice. Once I was working in China and got excused. The second was a firearms ownership case and after I said I was a card carrying member of the NRA and believed in every Americans right to keep and bear arms, I was ushered to the door and that was the end of that.
