If you say this you won't be selected. Engineers and Scientists routinely get denied because of the application of logic.

You'd be surprised. The DAs/lawyers on the other side can see right through this, and don't want it. They want someone that is more likely to show blind trust to the law side.

I got to jury selection last time I was on jury duty and the prosecuting attorney straight up asked the prospective jurors, "would you believe the testimony of a policeman above the testimony of the plaintiff?"

And guess which answer got people dismissed?

I don’t like guessing. It only reinforces bias. Please complete your anecdote.

I had the opposite experience. There were a few folks that were trying to get dismissed with statements like that and ended up on the jury.

Remember the prosecution have a limited number of dismissals and statements like that are desired by the defense.
