Hello,
I know that prosecutors can't because they are officers of the court and there would be a conflict of interest. Also, police officers are not supposed to be subpoenaed as well. I am also sure defense attorney's can not sit on a jury either.
Hope this helps you... :-)

Yes, they still Can! HOWEVER, since they 'work' in the court system, they are almost always "excused" from it.
And in cases where they "forget" to report on their assigned JD day, they are very UNlikely to have an FTA (Failure To Appear) appear on their driver's license record -- unless that court 'reports' it as such. And in the state of CA here, an FTA is = to a "warrant for your arrest" if the wrong ****** of a LEO pulls you over.

YES. I am an assistant D.A. and I can be on a jury, just not in the same courts I work in.

Yes, but they are likely to be disqualified on voir dire (when lawyers select a jury) due to their employment in the court system. Those who make it past voir dire can be impartial jurors.
