This is a common misconception so I thought I'd educate you. You are not "selected" but rather you are in the jury (or in the line of alternates) until you are rejected or enough people in front of you are rejected such that you fall into the 12 in the box.
Quick example: There's 20 people that show up for jury duty for a case. The first 12 are in the jury. You are in the alternate pool of 8 as the 4th alternate. if 4 in front of you are rejected from the jury, you become part of the jury (unless you are rejected for whatever reason).
That answers my question, even though I have never been called for jury duty. A better question would have been "Did that disqualify you?". Thank you for the info.
I was removed in the first round of the 100 or so pool of people. I have never been called back to jury duty since, and I had been selected often.
My friend, on my advice, also stated they support jury nullification. He too was removed. And, like me, he too was not called back for another jury duty since.
They keep track of that shit... had I known would have stayed quiet. If I knew then what I know now, I would have been a great subversive agent. Ship sailed years ago though.
Did they select you?

Let me just give two examples- my friend and I.
I was removed in the first round of the 100 or so pool of people. I have never been called back to jury duty since, and I had been selected often.
My friend, on my advice, also stated they support jury nullification. He too was removed. And, like me, he too was not called back for another jury duty since.

Did they directly ask if you support it, or did you volunteer that info?
