I wouldn't miss the opportunity to say he's guilty lol. I'm biased but I wouldn't say it openly just so I can declare him guilty.

    It's hard not to. Once you start seeing injustice, it's hard to stay silent.

    In my jury selection, I was tossed immediately after saying that everyone who witnessed the crime are white cops, and none of the evidence comes from anyone but the white cops.

    If I was a stronger person, I'd say nothing and then be prepared to point out that issue during the actual trial with my fellow jurors.
