This happened in the US. My friend went was picked to be in a pool of potential jurors in a civil case where the landlord was suing the tenants. When they asked the pool for anyone to speak out if they had any potential reason to think they may be biased in the case, my friend stood up and said something close to this:

I will 100% side with the tenants. If you told me that the landlord had irrefutable evidence that the tenants placed bombs on the landlords car IRA-style, then I would want to know what the landlord did to make the tenants do that.

The “IRA-style bombs” and “I would want to know what the landlord did to make them tenants do that” parts were definitely stated as such. He said those words. My friend was promptly removed and did not become a juror, but he became a legend in my eyes. I’m really proud of him.
