When I was selected for jury duty we had a guy get removed cause he kept saying he felt he had no right to condemn another man to prison and didn't want that burder. The judge argued with him on it. But Ultimately they will remove you if they think you aren't going to be impartial.

I was removed cause of my job. Dunno how it works in all states but here each lawyer apparently is allowed to pick a certain amount of jury members to be removed and replaced.

I felt sorry for the dude. As they went around the jury asking us about ourselves. His head sank lower and lower as more and more jury members admitted to beinf law enforcement or related to law enforcement.

He was let go though. Judge ended up saying there wasnt enough evidence and threw the case before it even really started.
