  • Jury duty

    They finally got me after 4 years here. You all know I have no life so I have nary an excuse to duck it. One week or 1 trial. Could be fun. Would you want your fate in my hands?

    yeah,sure fett. Deep down I think you might an o.k. Viking.
    My jury call: Got the letter, showed up at magistrate's court, the presiding judge is my next door neighbor. So when the time camewhen he asked if you feel you cannot serve, I arose and said, "Your honor, I am concerned the court might be interested to know that you are my neighbor, and I once rescued you from a tree."
    The court room was filled with polite giggles, and I was excused.

      I got call upon during my first year. It sucked because I work in Cleveland but jury duty was down in Cinci. I tried to get out of it, but never heard back. Then I forgot about it, but remembered on the second day. I told my boss and he said I better get my ass down there because he live there too and knows want aholes they are if you no-show. On my way down there, I got into a car accident and almost died, all for F'ing jury duty.

        I sat on a jury for a DWI trial this past June. Fun stuff, I recommend everyone do it. It was the fourth time I have been called but the first time I was chosen.

          I went in and waited all day (day off with pay). They didn't call me. Done!

                  I had jury duty a couple of weeks ago. I was put on the first panel, #63 out of 65, so I knew I wasn't going to make the jury, and I could just enjoy the process (I'm crazy like that).

                  So it was a panel for a capitol murder trial. This kid was just arrested for a murder in 1998, apparently was turned in by an accomplice. The kid that was killed was selling dope for MS-13.

                  And the most interesting thing about the whole deal was the defense atorney. He was doing it pro bono. The defense attorney was Racehorse Haynes.

                        Simple solution. Get a felony conviction and you won't ever have to serve on jury duty

                          If you don't register to vote you won't be bothered..

                          or

                          when interviewed..tell 'em you have racist feelings..it's not a crime to be "honest"..whether you are or not.

                            Yes jury duty is annoying as it disrupts your regular work week, but when I get called I will be proud to serve. There aren't a whole lot of countries where you are judged by your peers.
