One thing that concerns me about celebs on juries is that their compatriots on the jury might ascribe more power / logic to their takes because of their authority / celebrity as a public figure. “If Tom Hanks thinks so, he must be right…” “Oprah tells me what to read and gives away cars; how could she be wrong?”

Oh god imagine Tom Hanks sitting on your trial. I’d just plead guilty out of shame of letting America’s dad down.

Yeah, it’d be a real issue.
