"Real" crimes (that are currently prosecuted in AES states and would continue to be prosecuted if a worldwide communist revolution succeeded tomorrow) do happen. An unfortunately common example is domestic violence. Committing to throw any trial in favor of the defense is contrarianism, not a theoretically sound approach for how one might wring some actual justice out of our shitty legal system.
If you don't want to get on a jury in an attempt to throw the trial then you are a huge lib
If you want to pay my wages while I'm fucking around in court, be my guest.
Here, juryduty pays minimum wage, so if you're unemployed it's a pretty good deal. Never saw it happen though

That goes without saying. You could also be in a situation where you intentionally cause a mistrial because everyone else wants to let the abuser go.
