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

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!

i've been called a few times but the lawyers never like my views. i get booted early on.

Somehow I read "booty call" in there

I dont get called for Jury Duty

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

I agree, but the defense would not be too happy with that answer.

I've never been called for jury duty either. NA NA-NA NA-NA NA!!!

I want to see Melissa in my court room tomorrow morning too...

Yeah, then they would be assembling a jury for me

Here's how you get out of jury duty:

1. During "voire dire" the attorneys will ask you questions.

2. you will respond, "excuse me."

3. The attorney will repeat the question.

4. You will respond, "pardon?"

5. Attorney will ask: "do you have a hearing problem?"

6. You respond, "Oh, slightly."


You will never be called.
