To the editor:

I have had the pleasure to be called for jury duty four times. Twice on Petit Jury and twice for Grand Jury. Each time all the collected jurors were given specific instructions by the presiding judge. If we were prejudiced to the incident that brought the people to trial or if we were prejudiced against the defendant and could not reach a fair verdict or indictment, we should inform the judge and be excused. We could take notes but we all must pay attention. We are all sworn in to be fair and uphold the law.
