An ordinary citizen like myself may sometimes get harassed

whom they are asked to indict.

This may be true in some abstract sense, but wouldn't be true in my own
experience. First, I was called for a grand jury in New York City and,
as a self-employed worker, I couldn't take off for the perhaps lengthy
period of a grand jury (weeks or months).
Second, a year ago I received a notice of grand jury service in my
rural county (entirely consisting of an Indian reservation, one of two
such in the country). There is a lot of crime in this county, and I
looked forward to serving. I was not called once before the term of the
grand jury expired.
