Reply to comment by discogeek in $10 a day for jury pay is absurd if Pennsylvania says they are holding fair trials. by Jazzlike_Breadfruit9

You really think a jury full of people worried about paying their bills because they are missing work to be on the jury doesn’t hurt the accused?

You can’t have a sound and rational jury while forcing those serving on the jury to go days without their normal wages. They will do everything they can to reach a conclusion ASAP.

You can get out of jury duty for hardship reasons. All you seem to be doing is making up excuses for not fulfilling your civic duty.

I’m not making excuses for myself. Did you think you were responding to the OP?

And if one can get out of jury duty for financial hardship then we really don’t have trial by a jury of your peers, we have trial by a jury of the wealthy.
