Jury duty tomorrow morning 07:45. So when the judge asks, "is there any reason you should be excused from serving on this jury?" I say...? Any ideas?

Tell him you belong to this club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

Seriously, tell them you have a lot of personal friends who are in law enforcement (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)




PS........what court do you have to report to?

Just don't show up if you don't want to do it. How are they going to prove that you received the summons? I bet 30% of those that get jury duty summonses never show up. Has anyone ever heard of someone getting arrested for evading jury duty?

Maybe I'll just wear my 914world.com hat and T shirt. Quoteing or carrying a Bible will also get you excused. Or I could just tell them I hang with Clayton and Joe Sharp. That otta do it!

Tell them you would be glad to do it because it is your civic duty, but due to

your multiple personality dis-order you will need 3 out of the 12 seats...maybe 4.

You have a opportunity to exonerate the innocent.

And an opportunity to hold someone accountable.

In this day and age. Thats a rare opportunity.

That sure didn't work or me years ago back in Wisconsin. I have two cousins in the Sherrif's dept and another who was a Milwaukee cop plus a very close friend also a cop in Milwaukee. THis was a federal case, armed bank robbery and I thought I'd be excused too. NOT!

Actually serving on a trial jury is a pretty cool experience. Just do it.

I just carry a hardback copy of Tom Clancy's book "Without Remorse". I make sure the defense attorneys can see the covers. Works every time....




For those of you who don't know this book.... The main character is a ex-seal who starts vigilante killing drug dealers..... Good Book.

Amen to that. I got called to jury duty for the first time a few months ago.
It turned out to be a first degree murder case. Gave me a new perspective
on the justice system.

you already think he's guilty...

do you best alfred/hitler impersonation...

serving may be a great and noble act, but the pay sucks shit...

the 2 times I've been called, I was completely honest and still didn't have to serve... if I was picked, I'd serve and do my best... so, unless you REALLY can't do it, just roll with the punches, and see what happens
