Probably not. Most of the criminals are likely BP's off thier meds.

I have been on several jury's before my diagnosis and don't remember if they asked any questions about have a mental illness. I do know I was a hardliner in one of the cases and was able to convince several of the people on the guilty side see why this was not an open and shut case and the police were way out of line and probably should have been charged with assult for thier actions. I am not anti police either, much closer to pro police but there are a lot of bad cops out there. Just my expireance.

I'd been called to jury duty so many times before I just got sick of it. So the last time I wrote back that I couldn't serve because of a mental disease. They made me get a note signed by my doctor and I submitted it on-line. That got me off. I hate jury duty and am glad I never have to do it again. There are actually some benefits to being bipolar!
