What are three reasons that may be a deterrent for a potential juror to get picked to serve on a jury?

-You mean to be excused by the attorneys? Any number of things, such as expressing a strong bias for or against the defendant/prosecutor or the issue; stating that they could not be unbiased in their deliberations; having had previous experience with the situation (i.e. a victim of the same kind of crime, or having been in a similar lawsuit); having a personal relationship with anyone in the case, etc.



I got excused because I told them I'd been involved in an anti-war protest seven years earlier. It was just a simple assault case, but they considered me to be biased against the police. (And they were correct.)You mean to be excused by the attorneys?

Are you trying to ask why someone would not want to serve on a jury, or why some litigant would not want some specific person to serve on a jury?
Being heavily in favour of the death penalty, being 9 months pregnant, being surgically attached to a mobile phone or saying that they'll blog every moment in the court.
