Hmmm, so the attorney assumed you were lying about your true feelings. I don't believe you were ever at risk of anything but being thrown off the jury.
Once at a public meeting, I was speaking. The moderator was not at all happy with what I was saying. He told me that I was in violation of the meeting forum - that I was only allowed to bring up and comment on certain topics. He then told me that I needed to either stop talking or he would call the policeman over. I refused so he called the policeman over. I looked at the policeman held out my wrists and said "Are you going to arrest me?" The policeman said "no." At which point I then said, "then I will continue." - which I did. We have a bill of rights. Any time someone in authority has tried to intimidate me by such threats they failed to follow thru - every time.
