I have only been called once for jury duty, back in the early '00's. I made it onto the panel, despite being a degreed engineer, prior active Army O3, and looking like some sort of super sk8er/snowboarder dude. It was a felony menacing case, and it quickly became apparent that either the retired United Airlines pilot or myself was going to have to be foreman if we wanted to go home anytime in the next week, so I took the job. The prosecution's case was HORRIBLE, including corrupted evidence, and the public defender was just as bad, almost admitting guilt during a odd line of questioning. After reaching a not guilty verdict, the ONLY one we could reach given the circumstances, I asked the judge if we could speak to Junior DA and Public Defender in our chambers. The look on their incompetent faces was priceless as we read them the riot act on the trial's absolute waste of taxpayer's money and resources. The judge was highly amused. Probably why I have not gotten a summons again
