Have any of my blind online friends ever been selected to serve on a jury?

I've been living in the Boston area for over twelve years, and I've been selected for jury duty five or six times, but have never actually been selected to serve on a jury. I have this theory that, as a blind person, I am unlikely to be selected because there's a general attitude on the part of lawyers that blind people are less inclined to be influenced by visual evidence (yes, it's another case of American blind justice!).

Thus, my question: have any of my blind online acquaintances ever served on a jury"? And, if so, did it involved visual evidence, such as photographs?
