Don't forget, innocent people actually do get arrested and charged with crimes they didn't do. Look at how many people have been set free on DNA evidence!
actually doing any handowrk is reserved for having to sit in the jury room all day waiting to be called,not during a trial,here they call several hundred people for jury duty a week and on your day you see in the waiting area til they call your group,then if you are not chosen you have to go back to the waiting area to see if they might call you for another trial,either way you sit all day waiting and have nothing to do,
