All you gotta say if you wish to get out of Jury duty is say, “I listen to AM radio”, and if you dont wish to be “deselected” from jury duty is to say I voted for Sanjaia.
Gosh, I feel so sorry for somebody called to jury duty. What an awful thing to suffer through. I also believe that any individual should have the right to decide that another person accused of a crime is not entitled to a trial. That person should then just be convicted.
Show up with, and start reading your, pocket version of the U.S.Constitution.
Oakland CA doesn’t do much right, but they have this down pat. A different pool for each day. You call the night before and you sometimes have to call at noon the following day, but that’s it.
The bad part, though, is I get a jury notice once every two years like clockwork.
We need good FReepers on juries. Hang in there. What if only the conservatives showed up for jury duty? We’d run the country.
Just tell them; “If he was innocent the Police would not have arrested him!!” You’ll be out of that court room in a flash.
I got stuck on a federal jury at a trial because some guy spanked his child on an airplane flight and a jerk school teacher accused him of abusing his child.....
Wasted 3 days of my life...
They should have thrown the busybody public servant into the slammer.....
The prosecutor had not a single witness...what an ass....
A lawyer friend of mine told me to ignore the jury summons if I wanted to. If your actually harassed by the system just tell them you never got the letter.....works every time.
I will respect the law when the law deserves respect....no sooner.
Ever wonder why so many criminals?
CAUSE WE’VE SPENT 200 YEARS PUTTING LAWS ON THE BOOKS AND NOBODY BOTHERS TO GET RID OF ANY.
That is really amazing to me
Thanks for your story, don't you just love Jury Duty ?
