I received a jury duty summons.What can I do to ensure I am not chosen to be a juror?

[DiSTuRbEd]

Had to do that in Feb thank god I wasn't chosen but man did it blow to sit there in a room for about 9 hours and only able to watch winter olympics...$12 wasn't worth the torture.

What?? You sat there for 9 hours and you weren't even chosen to be juror? I thought I was going to be there for like half an hour to an hour.

Remind me to take the DS with me.

Chances are it's something trivial, like an assault or a hit and run. Make completely unreasonable requests for guilt/innonence, like complete DNA analysis, 5 pieces of forensic evidence, etc etc.

Or you can just act biased. Just say you know he's guilty, and it'll take an act of god for you to change your mind.

Do they drug test for jury duty?

I mean, it'd be interesting if they did. Not like it's something I'D need to wory about :upstare:

PFFFFFFFT!

Id love to be a juror. I was selected over the summer...but when I got there, they said the case was dismissed...I was kinda upset...though I did get the rest of the day off work with pay!

The duty of a Jury is to use his/her's common sense to judge who is innocent, and who is guilty in court..

If you really don't want to go, tell them RIGHT NOW that you don't want to do it.

I mean RIGHT NOW

Actually, a juror is supposed to consider the evidence presented to them and pass judgement based on it. Common sense isn't supposed to factor into it.

A justiceless world?

Ah, Australia.

Careful, or I'll get a Current Affairs program on your ass!

"kirovman eats babies, rapes dingos and has no respect for the elderly. The pure face of evil. By the way, we're an unbiased news program :]."

 

[bliink]

Just say the words Jury Nullification within earshot of the prosecutor. He'll challenge for sure.

[Sulkdodds]

I could tell you if you lived in Britain.

 

[15357]

It's called 'duty' for a reason, you know.

 

[CptStern]

ya well the government consistantly renegs on it's "duty" ... so I wouldnt feel all that bad ..funny how you expect complete loyalty from civilians but not from government

 

[Sulkdodds]

What, so if the government does something it's okay for you to do it?

Just because they renege on their duty doesn't mean you have any right to, you hippie bum!

 

[CptStern]

sure I do ..i am the government ..so are you .."we the people" ..what the hell have they done for me lately?




btw I was being mostly tongue in cheek ..it was a reply to numbers after all

 

[Sulkdodds]

Sure, but what have they done for you? Well, given you the opportunity to practise the spirit of democracy in the justice system, letting every man be tried by his peers, for a start!

 

[CptStern]

no they havent, I give them the opportunity to create government through my vote ..the government should be subservient to the people, not the other way around

 

[15357]

Yeah... you have rights, and therfore you must have duties to maintain equilibrium of freedoms.

 

[Spoonoop]

just do what Homer Simpson did. Say that your prejudice towards all races :cheers:

DO EEEEET

AND GET LAID WITH A JURY CHIcK.

 

[kirovman]

bullshit

Make me.

 

[Howard Roark]

Do your part, its not about getting something out of it, its about not being a selfish prick.

Zlepplin may not have the same noble motivations, but I personally know I could much better serve society by "selfishly" pursuing my work than showing up at jury duty.

 

[Stingey]

Threads like these prove why jury trials are the sux

Sometimes jury chicks are usually hot amirite?

 

[mortiz]

Personally, I'd love to be a juror. I'd say just do your part.

 

[el Chi]

Even better yet. I'll tell them I'd rather stay at home playing video games

That might actually work. After all, what's the point in having someone so immature and selfish on the jury if all they're going to be thinking about is playing computer games whilst people's futures are decided.

How is it selfish? I don't see why these cases can't be decided by the judge. I pay taxes to Uncle Sam every year. I think that's more than enough I do for the country.

If I ever have to appear in court to defend a case, unless the judge is a bigot, I don't see why I wouldn't waive my right to a trial by jury.

While wearing the judge's wig


Personally I wouldn't mind jury duty provided it wasn't during the semester and I got reimbursed for the fuel costs.
