I was called for jury duty only once. They kept jerking me around, postponing the trial, until I moved to another town. I have no idea how the trial ever came out.

I actually wanted to be on the jury. I'd been on a Court Martial once, and I wanted a chance to compare the two.

My wife did serve on a jury, but it was a one-day thing. Not a long trial.

I’ve been called several times, but have never been on a jury.

The closest that I ever came to actually being on a jury ended when the defendant saw all of us sitting around, waiting to see who would be judging him, and then decided to take a plea bargain instead.

Only got called in once. The arresting officer was a neighbor and the local Boy Scout Troop bully. A real @sshole when we were growing up.! One of those that couldn’t wait to get a badge and a gun so he could demonstrate his authority.Was known to pull his gun out on simple traffic arrests, shot his own cruiser once.......and is now a detective with 35 yrs on the force.

I was honest and told the judge I’d have a hard time believing anything the cop said since I’d known him all my life. Got the nod to go after that.
