Do you think that people who are in the legal profession should be able to sit on a jury.

Surely its biased for a police officer to decide guilt ior innocence, and the same for a lawyer.

Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

Just wondering what everyone else thinks. I don't know about lawyers,etc. But Police officers are not allowed to do jury service whilst being a serving police, or for twenty years after leaving.

Surely a lawyer would be more subjective of the evidence then a normal, everyday person? Wouldn't they be good to have on a jury for that reason, if they happened to get choosen? :hmm:
