I always say I am prejudicial against police and that I will inform other jurors of their right to jury nullification. Never called back.

Your comment for some reason made me pronounce “prejudicial” in my head as “pre-judicial”. Then when I realized the mispronunciation I suddenly had a better meaning of the word prejudice. Pre-judge.

Obviously I already knew what it meant, I just never thought of it that way.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I did the same thing. They made me sit in the courthouse basement (waiting area for jury duty) for a week. Sorry, I won't be offering a guilty verdict for drug offenses.

How many times have you used that line? I’ve never been called, but I’ll definitely be using something like that if so.

I've used it in PA and it worked. It was a question on the form they made us all fill out and asked if you're less likely to trust the word of a police officer because they're a police officer. I said yes and got excluded. I regret saying that though. The case was interesting. A guy overdosed on heroin and they charged the dealer with murder.
