No kidding. I WANT to serve on a jury.
No one will let me.
20 Years ago I was sitting on a jury pool
One question was “ If you find the defendant guilty of a capitol crime could you assess capitol punishment ?”
This one prospective juror said “I don’t understand, what do you mean”
The DA asked again “If you find the defendant guilty of a capitol crime could you assess capitol punishment ?”
Again the prospective juror questioned the DA. “What do you mean ?”
The DA said “ If you find the Defendant guilty of a capitol crime COULD YOU ASSESS the death penalty.
The prospective juror answered “ Yeah I could burn the Bastard”
Juror dismissed, on to the next Juror
I have never been called....never! I lived in one locale for over 11 years in a small population county and voted in every election, still I was never called!
I have lived here in Va. for four years now and still have never been called. I always thought they got your names from a voter registration pool for jury duty.
