The Potential Juror

[WillyL]

An important and very well publicized murder trial was soon to begin. In preparation for the trial, the tiresome jury selection process took place, each side hotly contesting and dismissing potential jurors.

One prospective juror, Douglas. was called for his question session.

He was asked, "Property holder?"

Douglas replied, "Yes, I am, Your Honor."

Then he was asked, "Married or single?"

Douglas responded, "Married for twenty years, Your Honor."

Then the judge asked, "Formed or expressed an opinion?"

Douglas stated with certainty, "Not in twenty years, Your Honor."
