I was wondering since people today can pretty much sue anyone for anything, has anyone ever heard of a jury member or an entire jury being sued for a conviction?

The jury members could technically be sued. However, it would be one of the breifest cases on record. The jury has judicial immunity, there is no record of its deliberations, and even the court lacks authority to demand to be told what happened during deliberations. The suit would be dismissed almost immediately.

Once selected for jury duty, the jurors become government employees and you can't sue the government. Just an observation.

in this u . s . a . you are able to sue everybody for something. there became that dumb choose in DC who sued a dry cleanser for over $50 million. in case you have no longer have been given a sturdy case, your criminal expert wont do it on contingency, and could assume you to pay him no count in case you win or no longer.
