The last time I was called for jury duty, they asked me if I was a member of any gun rights organizations. I said yes, the GOA. “What is the GOA?”, the prosecutor asked.
“It is an organization formed because the NRA are a bunch of gutless wimps!”
I was excused.
I was summoned for jury duty once. The headlines of all the Boston newspapers was about the case I was called to sit on. About a month before this there was a big f-up in the Boston PD forensics lab that was so bad the state had to take the department over.
The DA stated that his case rested largely on the work of the Boston PD forensics unit. I mentioned to him if he knew that that department was so screwed up that the state took it over...
I was dismissed from jury duty.
There is a hardcore grid metal band called Dope Smoker. My kid bought one of their tee shirts at a concert and wore it to jury duty which happened to be for a drug dealer.
‘You’re outta here!’
The only time I have NOT been relieved of jury duty was the one time I did NOT wear my Marine Corps polo. I have a red polo shirt with the Marine Corps emblem in black and gold on the left breast pocket area, and every time they have called my name/number while wearing that shirt I have been dismissed. I’m sure that is just coincidental!
The one time I didn’t wear it, I was an alternate juror on a two-day trial concerning extortion by a lawyer charging exorbitant hours of work, for an UNCONTESTED DIVORCE.
He said he had an office fire...which only happened in his filing cabinet...and that is why he didn’t have exact records of his time/hours worked covering this uncontested divorce. The ex-husband’s lawyer billed his client less than 1/5th of the hours that the plaintiff’s ex-lawyer charged her!
Needless to say, he was found GUILTY, and that is exactly what I would have voted too!
I am 68 years old and have never been called for jury duty. I am definitely not complaining.
Here I agree with you.
Seems to me that the joke and the red hat shtick just eliminates jurors that would be beneficial to a defendant who is innocent of phony STATE OF CORRUPTION CHARGES!

Me = cane cutter, deckhand, roughneck, geologist, consultant, pilot instructor, pharmacist, strict constitutional libertarian. The defense does not want me on the jury of a guilty person.

Good job, neighbor!
I’ll be coming over the border more to shop, now that your new governor will get rid of the sales tax on food!! Our sales tax is crazy high.
Actually, I think Warner did it first when he was governor but they made it temporary.
