Damn I got nailed for Jury Duty Again :o(

Randy · 10-11-2004, 06:20 PM

Last time I was selected for the Jury I talked my way out of it

Hopefully this time the case is settled out of court. I would hate to have to be stuck for a week on a case

redspy · 10-11-2004, 06:24 PM

Just act intelligent, it's the best way to be dismissed from jury duty

nikegurl · 10-11-2004, 06:27 PM

gotta love the new CA system - they can snag us once a year

Randy · 10-11-2004, 06:29 PM

cheer up. if they keep you more than one day they'll owe you something like 40cents for gas.

nikegurl · 10-11-2004, 06:31 PM

seriously though - your chances of it settling w/a plea bargain or of 1 of the 2 lawyers not picking you is pretty good. figure you'll be stuck for a day. (my fingers are crossed for ya)

Thats what you get for registering to vote for Bush.

I've never been once, in my life - mauh ha ha haaaaaaaaaa!

nikegurl · 10-11-2004, 06:39 PM

Somehow I read "booty call" in there

camarosuper6 · 10-11-2004, 08:04 PM

I dont get called for Jury Duty

MaxMirkin · 10-11-2004, 08:48 PM

I explained that I was a staunch supporter of communism......every fuckin lawyer wanted me after that.

**I Are Baboon** · 10-12-2004, 06:20 AM

I'm about due any time now to get a notice. It's been two years since my last call, and they seem to call me every damn two years. I'm 32 years old and have already been called 6 times.

Randy · 10-12-2004, 01:53 PM

I feel so much better now Nike...Thank You

Cops dont get called for jury duty.

I'm going to have to give you a ticket for that Camaro

nikegurl · 10-12-2004, 03:09 PM

hint - people w/strong ties/connections/feelings about law enforcement get called - but not chosen to be on juries.

**Prince** · 10-12-2004, 03:42 PM

it's easy to get out, just answer their questions very "closed minded".

In the last case I was selected for, it was referencing an alleged drunk driver.
I told the judge I had several friends who were alcoholics

and several of them encountered various law breaking situations as a result of alcohol. I was the first one called off the stand.

The key is to discredit yourself as a juror towards either the defense or prosecution

. You have 2 ways you can go there.

Show extreme prejudice works well. Or just say you hate cops and hate the judicial system! Works every time like a charm.

I want to see you in my court room tomorrow morning
Camarosuper6... I hear you been skipping Jury Duty

exactly.

if it were a murder case you could simply say "I think all murderers should be executed!", that should get you thrown out too.

Actually, that wouldn't be a lie Robert..
I don't want to pay my tax money on murderers!
