Our side also continuously loses court cases with "our guys" because people are too virtuous. "Oh I can't be on this jury I have a bias for this guy, he's on my side politically!", well guess what, all the leftists aren't going to announce that they hate this man and want him to rot to death in prison. You aren't going to let him and his family suffer because you want to be on the high road, are you?
I am one of those jury nullification types, so I tried to say as little as possible when I was on jury duty, and definitely didn't skyline myself on the juror questionnaire.
Good.
Let this act as an objective lesson in the power of jurors. Stop trying to get out of jury duty.
