Well, Clinton certainly knows the law. He always got the law right on the money. If that's what you call a weasel, well show me to your nearest hen house.

But, knowing the law is actually a "minus" for a juror. You want them to decide the facts and apply the law the judge gives them. Generally, as a lawyer, I know I'll quickly get out of any jury duty ever.

Plus, Clinton has faced federal prosecutors with the O.I.C. NOw, this may not be the exact same office, but I see a possible bias. You'll notice in the article that the prosecutors do too.

They're just whining because they're going to have to burn one of their "freebie" jury challenges to get rid of him. These are the free challenges you use without question to narrow your jury pool for reasons that are seen as "irrelevant." Prosecutors use these all the time for what are really "not fair" reasons. Black defendant - get the black jurors out of the jury pool (same with most minorities). Female Juror #14 seems to have a crush on the defense attorney - 86 her too. That's the way it works. Clinton will NOT be a juror on this case when it finally comes to trial.
