I Always Get Dismissed For Jury Duty Trials By The Defense Attorney...

[macdoughall]

I am in the military and put on my uniform when I report. What reason do you feel as to why the defense may well object to my serving on a jury?

Whilst it could at times rely on the topic matter of the case, it is more probably a matter of respect. Being aware of that you are a member of our armed forces, they almost certainly figure you have better places to be than on a jury. And even though we are supposed to view serving on a jury as some sort of civic duty, serving in the military is a much a lot more noble one particular.

Initial, THANK YOU for serving our nation! Second, you possibly get dismissed because your uniform carries a particular moral code with it, that the defense does not want against them.   Again, thank you.

Most defense attorneys plan to present excuses for why the defendant should not be punished. The military is very mission oriented, where accomplishment of the mission is paramount. Excuses for why the mission was not a success are not tolerated as well as in the civilian world. Lawyers probably think military members will not have much sympathy for a defendant pleading extenuating circumstances. Military members are more known for "sucking it up and carrying on".   I should wear my service dress to my next jury duty. Every time I have been called, I have been selected for a jury. Thanks for the idea.   I hope this helps.

The defense might have the perception that you are more of a law and order type of person Both attorneys are looking for clues as to a potential juror's opinions and whether he or she is likely to favor their side or the other side.  My guess is that the defense attorneys are assuming that your military service would make you more likely to convict their client.

Its not an insult, its out of respect While it could sometimes depend on the subject matter of the case, it is more likely a matter of respect.
