I was a juror on a domestic murder trial. Went home each night, no free food and they confiscated everyone’s phone during the trial. I wondered how would I’ve gotten properly compensated if I’d been self employed? I believe we should have a system of full time professional jurors who are trained in law and how to disregard lawyerly tactics. As it is, there are cases where it will be hard to find a jury who hasn’t heard of the case and has not made up their minds. Trained, professional jurors will be trained in setting aside their biases; sort of like if you take a debating class, you’re taught to switch sides and argue the opposing point of view.
