Does being a veteran keep you from serving on a jury?

I have been called like 10 time and selected 1 time .

i was never called while on active duty. i have served since retirement.

That is funny.
I went on Jury duty eight years ago, I identified myself as retired military, having testified at some military court martials, worked as a part-time law enforcement officer in another state for three years while serving. This was a criminal court case and I figured I would be culled from consideration during the interview. I was surprised to find out I was the first person picked and ended up being on the jury for three days.

Right this moment I am on Jury Duty in same County, I was not called into a courtroom yesterday but I still have to do it today.. time will tell.

But I agree with you.. some Lawyers appear to be afraid of veterans because we look at the laws as laws to be obeyed because we were taught to follow regulations. Some think that laws are meant to be interpreted.

I don't know for sure but it is a suspicion. I have been selected a few times to participate in jury pool but never selected as an actual juror

I was called while on active duty. Wore my class B's, during the selection process. Didn't make it to a jury, but was in the standby pool for the rest of the week.

I was picked for the jury and they elected me forman because I had military experience. I guess I should have stressed my veteran background earlier in the process. Would have saved me from hours of listening to lawyer BS trying get a guy off who had clearly been driving drunk.

I live close to a military installation. I have been selected for jury duty never having been asked even one question. Was told by judge she was envied because we Vets take jury duty very seriously and show up.

I have been called to jury duty twice. Once before and once after my enlistment. The first time, the charges never went to trial. The second time, I went through the whole deal. The defendant ended up being innocent on that charge, assaulting a peace officer. All she did was touch the LEOs wrist and stepped in front of him and was asking why her mom was getting arrested. The reason she got off, by definition, the person has to have the intention of causing physical harm, or be insulting, if I remember right. She did not have that intention, therefore innocent of that charge.

Lawyers hate folks with integrity.

I was called for jury duty right after my last deployment in 2013. I thought for sure I was going to get eliminated. Nope, they both kept me and my jury group selected me as the foreperson. We found the defendant innocent.
