My dad's a federal police officer, so I just assumed that'd create a bias in any criminal investigation, combined with my "better safe than sorry" attitude if the person looks like they probably committed a crime at some point anyway ("professional protester" types, etc.)

So if they've got an existing record, say, I will 100% stick to guilty, regardless of if I think they did this crime. Conversely, if I feel their crime was justified (like they killed the guy who stole their car), I'd refuse to go along with anything except "not guilty" because I believe they were right.

Tell them stuff like this. If you're being honest, they will likely know and recuse you.

You're aware that not all court cases are criminal, right? In fact, some of the worst cases are civil.
