I'll admit it; it's a tough call. If not Susan, then who?
But if one fears that their life could genuinely be in peril simply by sitting on a jury, could that person render a true and honest verdict? The fear of retribution could be enough to sway an individual, and it only takes one juror to keep from a conviction.
If myself or a loved one sat on this jury and a conviction is rendered, I would be fearful of my and my loved one's safety for the rest of my life. And unfortunately, there are going to be 20 people (they are picking 8 alternates for this trial) that are going to be in that very position.
