Were you trying to get thrown out?  I don't recall any of the questions being very extreme.

No, though I knew that I would.  I believe in jury nullification.  Prosecutors don't particularly care for that.  On the other occasion, the prosecutor asked whether I beleived that circuмstantial evidence is as strong as direct proof.  I simply said that it would depend on the strength of the circuмstantial evidence, that it would require certainty beyond a reasonable doubt.  That's when the prosecutor asked the judge to dismiss me (so he didn't have to use one of his juror ejections), but the judge refused and found my answer reasonable.  This made it pretty clear to me that he had a very flimsy case.  From what I gathered, the defendant was accused of vandalizing a neighbor's property and the only "evidence" was a prior quarrel he had had with the neighbor who had his property destroyed.
