I have nothing to hide, I'll answer honestly. I'm good with that.

The attorneys are always going to try to get a jury that appears it might be favorable to their cause. If it makes them happy to think that people with reverse Mohawk haircuts would be more likely to be supportive, they can visually scan for it. If its a white collar type thing, they might look for calloused hands with greasy fingernails. The prosecution would want those guys, the defense might not. There are companies that make a heck of a lot of money consulting with attorneys regarding jury selection.

They might not want a guy like me, laid off twice in the last 18 months to be on a jury in a mortgage fraud case, for example...........
