I would imagine that if you had a major celeb on the jury, they could potentially influence the rest of the jurors unfairly.
Corruption? You are seriously reaching on this one.

And the Mayor
One of New York City's most famous residents -- Mayor Michael Bloomberg -- reported for jury duty Monday morning at Manhattan Supreme Court.

quote from McMurray
“Jury duty was life-changing,” said McMurray, who was juror No. 7 at the Iredell (N.C.) County Courthouse. “The case that I was on was very intense. It’s incredible to me that they put 12 people in charge of someone’s life or someone’s future, but I was a part of that.
An alphabetized list of 123 “Celebrity Jurors Who Served Over the Years” runs four pages and makes for a handy guide to New York notables, from Woody Allen to Paula Zahn. Here are the T’s:
Twyla Tharp, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei, Donald Trump, Ivana Trump, Ivanka Trump, Kathleen Turner, Aida Turturro, Cicely Davis Tyson. The K’s are also interesting because the list includes not only Harvey Keitel, Dr. Henry Kissinger and Calvin Klein, but also the Hon. Judith S. Kaye, the state’s chief judge. I guess it’s only fair, since technically she’s the one who asked me to show up today (and who, several years back, overhauled the system so celebrities would no longer be easily exempted).
The actor showed up for jury duty in Los Angeles on Thursday, TMZ.com reports.
According to the site, Pitt, 43, showed up in a T-shirt, dark jeans and a black cap. Observers said he even wore a juror badge, and then had Subway delivered for lunch.
"He served just like everyone else does," his rep tells PEOPLE.
Jennifer Lopez had taken time off from promoting her CD of Spanish-language love songs to appear in the Beverly Hills Courthouse on Monday morning after being summoned for jury duty.
