If it's not you'd have to be pretty twisted. But I'd do it if I had to to make sure a reasonable verdict happens.

Honestly, if it's me, I think I take my chances at a trial. I know the odds probably aren't in my favor, but I would rather go on trial and take the stand. I'll answer anything the prosecutor wants to know.

you dont me all that well I can BS pretty damn good

A lot of other people thought they could too. The truth is most people can smell bullshit but they don't always have a life-altering vote to hold over your head.

People think this, but i've seen hardened guys in biker shirts or football jerseys damn near cry when asked how they'd feel watching disturbing details of a trial. And i'm not sure it'd be humane to put a young father on a case where they'd likely have to see gruesome photographs of young kids. I worked on a case this past summer that had Prosecutors (ie people who look and gruesome photos and kiddie **** all the time) in tears looking at photos. I can't imagine a young father not used to those things would even be able to function in a case like that.

Also, the Defendant might rather go to prison for a couple of years than go through a trial where they have to be confronted with those images and spend 8-10 months in prison waiting for trial anyways.

I was a juror for a child ******ation case in Waukesha County in July 2012. Sitting there learning about every gruesome detail all week is emotionally exhausting.
