Are there any examples in Jury Selection where you might *want* someone who shares a demographic with your opposition?
Let's say you're the plaintiff, and you were injured by a dangerous forklift driver. Conventional wisdom says to kick out anyone who works in a warehouse since they might be biased in favor of other warehouse workers. But I'd bet they've been in the position before of having a jackass coworker almost run them over.
Are there any cases where conventional wisdom "reverses" and a juror may be more likely to be harsh towards an "in-group" member?
