I grew up with the prosecutor/defendant/star witness/victim.  

I read about this case in the news, and I already have an opinion about it.  I don't think I can be impartial. 

A very similar thing happened to me / my Mom / my cousin, and I'm kind of biased about this.  I don't know if I can be impartial.  

I don't get paid to be on a jury, and I can't afford to lose the money.  This is a hardship for me and I really don't want to be here.

You don't get paid?

I got paid 90% of my usual salary along with expenses and a much shorter 'working day' for two weeks.

The vast majority of the time was spent relaxing in the cafe. It was almost like a mini holiday.

The actual jury part of it only took about four hours of listening to an interesting case then 30 minutes deciding he was innocent. Then the judge let us go home early.
