In most states, i would say no. there may be one or two states that would allow this, depending on the cirucmstances of the conviction. A conflict of interest might occur, if the person arrested and you, were arrested for the same offense. If i were a defense attorney, i would excuse you from serving.

I would think that those in a court related or criminal justice career would consider things like the others on the jury's safety, or even a biased view? Just a guess, though. I could not find a definite answer, sorry :| Try searching the "Bieda Bill", I think that may help, as it does relate to convicted felons serving on a jury and their eligibility and what not.

There are 3 types of offenses 1.Infraction-generally vehicle violations (e.g. speeding) 2.Misdemeanors-(e.g.DUI offenses) 3.Felonies-(e.g. assault with a deadly weapon or vehicle thefts) Felonies are the severest of offenses so it really boils down to a question of character.Felonies are a severe offense. Quite possibly an individual might have had a change of life style however, they still have to live with the consequences of their past life (having a criminal record). And in this case, being exempt from serving on a jury. In our court system people with felony backgrounds cannot serve on a jury.
