sometimes you get a cool judge. if your fiance were to tell them that he has been on the job hunt and has a great interview tomorrow, they might dismiss him. or they asked him "is there anything that would prevent you from fully focusing on this
case?" he could say, well to be honest i'm very nervous right now because i have a big job interview tomorrow and i'd be extremely upset if i didnt get to go...
the lawyers and prosecuters and judge may say "ok we don't want you on the jury..dismissed!"
