Ideal Juror Profile
City Defense — excessive force
The ideal juror for the city defense in an excessive force case is analytical and evidence-focused, likely aged 45-65, with a background in law enforcement, military, business, or finance. They evaluate use-of-force decisions based on what the officer knew in the moment, not in hindsight, and are skeptical of large damages awards against municipalities.
