The court house I went to was small.. they threw us in a church across the street in the huge basement. I had brought a book from "George Carlin" . Had people all around me. Well after a while people thought I was a loon because I was shaking and crying from reading his book. Was funny as hell!! Oh ..Ya I am prob am a loon

It's interesting I got called a couple of years ago for a drug case. In questioning the pool, I was the only one who answered that I've never done drugs ...

They let me go, thought I was lying.

 

[BLACK6PACK]

Did jury duty just over a week ago and actually got selected. Was actually an interesting case at least. 30 year old guy stabbed a pimp outside a strip club and killed him. He was pleading self defense. Strippers, pimps, drug dealers, car chases, shootings, stabbings, murder etc. Had all the best that fort lauderdale has to offer!! Could be made into a movie or at least an episode of CSI Miami.

Same thing happened to me when I took the Polygraph. The guy kept harping on whether or not a ever smoked Marijuana. I keep saying no. The Trooper kept going back to that question and I kept giving him the same answer of no.

It's funny how society actually thinks that everyone at some point in their life has used or tried Marijuana.

It seems that every time I renew my DL, I get a card in the mail for jury duty. I called in 3 times to appear for petit jury and they never got to my number.

I was picked to serve on grand jury a few years back for 18 Thursdays in a row. It was an interesting and eye-opening experience to say the least.

It sounds like a pure case of self defense to me.

Did you all find him not guilty?

R U a Wise Latino Juror?

 

[TR Custom Parts]

Called for jury duty about 5 times in my 53 years. Best time was when they were having some sort ceremony for the guards that day and they let us go after a couple of hours.

Last time I went a couple years ago it was for a murder trial. Some gansta type killed his old lady with an illegal gun. They kept harping on me that I should be able to look past the fact that he had an illegal gun in his possession and didn't necessarily mean he killed his girlfriend. Kept insisting that I just couldn't look past that and figured if he had an illegal gun he was going to do something illegal as well. They told me to have a nice day.

Remember one time going and some poor guy was reading a newspaper while the judge was doing his little spiel in front of the assembled possible jurors at the beginning of the day. The judge laced into this poor guy so bad I thought he was going crawl under his chair. Nowadays the judge doesn't even come out for the little speech.

Gotta be careful trying to get out of jury duty. If you try to hard sometimes the judge will excuse you but make you stay for the whole trial.... Best tactic is to be extra eager to stay on the panel. You'll get a strike right away...

If Ya live in a LOW crime state like NH you may never get called

When I lived in MASS A CUSETTES I was called 3 times. By Noon the judge wanted to play golf so we got off on good behavior.
