Bailiff, Whack his pee-pee!
 

Fekk, I've got jury duty tomorrow!

That poor bastard is getting a guilty verdict from me just for punishing me with his trial. It better at least be something cool with bloody pics and big knives, not some sissy "I dropped a cinder block on my dog" crap.
At least when I sat on OJ's jury, I could place strategic farts whenever Marcia Clark said the name "O.J.":p

Anyone have an interesting jury tale?

/me says "your not suppose to talk about the trial"


/me whispers "tell us everything"

/me coughs and then walks away

I have not been on a jury before, and I dont think I would make a good juror. I am a "feelings" person, and I think I would feel sorry for the person that may go to jail.


Have fun Chev, I know they pay you big bucks for being a juror. Isnt it like 20.00 a day? Hardly worth your time away from your family.

Big Hugs,

sorta beating the system and not getting fired (yay)
 

I have a jury story, it's a story of triumph. A story, of courage;). :p

Around October of '99 (to serve in March, '00) I got my (first) dreaded jury duty notice. Nothing interesting as far as crimes happens around here, I figured I should either get out of it, or have to deal with a whole day of minimum wage for listening to cases about people who slippped and fell on their ass at McDonald's (and in turn, losing time @ work, and likely getting fired from that job :(). Having had a back problem a couple years ago, it was on record with my Doctor's office. I had him write me a note saying I couldn't sit for a prolonged period of time, I presented it in the "medical excuse" room at the beginning, they read the note, stamped me and said have a nice day. :) (I = winnar!) Okay that wasn't too interesting, but I wangled my way out of it... :cool:

[edit] Yes, I know I use too damn many smilies.

Re: sorta beating the system and not getting fired (yay)
 

Nothin like the ol' doc's note. :D

Cya! :)

just say you hate all people of color. that gets ya off the hook real quick-like. sure, you lose your chance with any women in the room, but with the time you told your company you were taking for jury duty you could go to a strip bar.

Dist-
There's no such thing as "too damn many smilies." :D

And another easy way to get out of jury duty is to say "Uh yeah. Like, I work for an attorney and shtuff." ;)

Well, you could always just show up and start speaking another language. "No habla Inglés." :)

I had to do Jury Duty, boring as hell, fortunately it only lasted a couple of days.

The prosectutions case was basically, 'Find him guilty 'cause we say he is'

It was a complete waste of time and should have been kicked out well before getting round to wasting my time

my mom was going to be on the jury for the paul bernardo trial (anyone here remember that?) but got out of it b/c her cousin was one of the police who found the bodies in teh lake

I've never had jury duty and i dread it. I didnt know they paid you tho. I have myoclonus, and its recorded medicly. could i get out with that?:confused:

$20 sucks llama nut's to be paid for all the money you'd lose for working that day(s). :rolleyes:

But I'm too young for it anyway so who cares! :D

The legal systems of the west are total and utter monkeywank.

yeah, basically
any other place where you can buy your freedom in a so-called fair judicial system?

Just got home from day one.
It took 6 1/2 hours to seat a jury, for god's sake.
I can't discuss details but it's pretty major;)
Not murder but along the lines of a guy who's name rhymes with "Soddly Bing":p
As soon as it's over, I'll share the juice, pepper spray and the phone numbers of 2 of the juror babes;)

BTW, 95% of jury trials occur in the United States.

Dont share the phone numbers of the babes hon, keep them for yourself!

I am glad to hear day 1 was good. Keep us updated.

sounds interesting Chev. My mom had to do jury duty about 5 years ago - a 2 hour drive from rural southern Oklahoma to Oklahoma City, every day for a month. :rolleyes:

As for myself... was I supposed to return that little card they sent me when I turned 18 :eek: ? ;)

good luck w/ the rest of your stint, man
are the seats comfortable

and try to get yourself "sequestered" w/ the jury-babes

Chev I hope the judge read this and cut you out cuz of your lack of abjectivity!! :D

Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght
Whatever abjectivity is, I'm sure I'm not guilty of it:p

Objectivity
