Jury duty

[10x]

Well, i am happy. On standby last evening, now don't have to go. I had enough of lawyers and courts during my working years.

I will say the call in procedure is a good thing.

Personally I would like to serve on a jury. I have only been called once and the defendant took a deal right before selection.

My wife served on a murder trial, she said it was very interesting and overall a good experience.

Sitting on a Jury can kinda be like free dinner theater.

I was on one recently. Got to the point where I was sitting in the jury box and the lawyers were asking everyone questions. The defence attorney asked me to leave after talking to me. I really wanted to be on the trial too.

I was summoned every year from 18 or 19 to about 35. I wouldn't mind never being called again.

The last time I got called (a dui case) I was under subpoena to testify in a different dui case lol-yeah I got excused.

I served on my one and only jury about 12 years ago, serving as foreman. Wouldn't mind doing it again.

I just went in to Jury duty today. Criminal Case involving sex abuse of a minor from Uncle. The defendant was a dude I knew from about 12 years ago so I was abruptly excused. He wouldn't even look me in the eye. What a deadbeat!!!

I was called for a DUI case as well. When asked about the limits, I said they were arbitrary limits and dont reflect individual impairment. And that the blood or blower test should not be the judge of impairment, but a field sobriety test should. The defense lawyer asked that I be dismissed...hmm.

It's kind of a PITA here. You serve in a pool of potential jurors for a month. Trials are scheduled 2x per week. You have to call in 2x per week to see if you're required to report on one of the trial days. It's very easy to forget. If you get called you're dismissed for the remainder of the month.
