It does kinda bring up the fact that pay for being on a jury -- sucks. I can't imagine being on a hung jury for weeks at a time if I knew that my wages were cut in half and I wouldnt be able to make my house payment if I didn't get back to my REAL job. It might even be tempting to "go with the flow" even if I felt differently.

If they paid you enough to make the difference less, I think far less people would "cave." Then again, it would also suck to be so convinced but stuck on a jury of unconvincable people. ... ....
