People who don’t want to to be there should not be forced to.

Right. “I’m too important for this shit. Give jury duty to assholes who don’t have anything better to do.”
Just remember, though, that when the next OJ walks, you’ll have no right to bitch.

Unless they are the same dudes who jam up the PIT with their rants about “how stupid the jury was in this last case…” :rolleyes:
Besides you are not forced to: you can leave the country or refuse and do your time. You are coerced into jury duty, but that only makes the pool more likely to be your peers.

I don’t know how “forced” could be used in any context properly using your definition.
All I know is that I wouldn’t want anyone on my jury who has no interest in being there.
