This is what you risk with a jury, people this stupid. Of course it was in Kalifornia.

'Legally Blonde' star Reese Witherspoon was chosen as jury foreman after jurors thought she went to law school
In a recent appearance on "The Graham Norton Show," Reese Witherspoon shared that a jury once elected her foreman because they believed she actually went to law school.
"Well listen, I did not want to do jury duty," Witherspoon said on the show. "But I remember it was after ‘Legally Blonde.’ It was probably like seven years after 'Legally Blonde,' I got called for jury duty and it was in Beverly Hills. I thought, ‘Surely they’re not gonna pick me.’ They picked me for a long trial, y'all. It was probably two weeks. I was on the jury."
She went on to explain that over the course of the two weeks, she got "very invested in this case," which she shared was a very clear "dog bite case."
At the end of the trial, the jury "went to deliberation" and when it came time to elect a foreman, Witherspoon shared "they all unanimously are like, ‘Her,'" while pointing at herself. She shared the most distressing part was when she asked them why they chose her, and they said, "You went to law school."
"I was like, ‘Y’all this is really upsetting. I definitely did not go to law school, I didn’t finish college,’" she said. "I played a lawyer in a movie once, but they fully made me the foreman and I started realizing people don’t know much about the law."
