Does opting out leave the jury short of members, or is an alternate seated? ManiacJoe Jun 2014 #3

I always try to explain my vote. It's interesting to me how close some of my responses are to others. I know it's not required but if someone hid my post, I'd like to understand why.

after seeing what I am voting on, I am not offered to explain WHY I opted out.

I have opted out only twice...once on gun rights and this time on a man vs woman discussion...

I never read either threads, and have my own personal opinion about guns...and am a woman...so bias will follow

I know that the initial request for jury members goes out to more than 7 users.
