Query: An exercise in poor jury selection

Mr. Burnett waxes eloquent as to his intellectual prowess, devastating insights, etc. But as he admits, he made up his mind not to vote for conviction before any real deliberations began. In my view, therefore, he "failed to deliberate" and violated his first and most important duty as a juror.As a trial lawyer, this sort of self important doofus is exactly what we seek to exclude from jury panels.The judge had it right at the end; a jury's service is valuable, but is by no means as rigorous, dangerous or important as that of many others in this society. Mr. Burnett felt that being cooped up on a jury for a few weeks merited a book -- he should grow up.
