I have to report for jury duty tomorrow

[quote=pescado rojo]Last time I got called for jury duty I had a bad cold. After I sat back there coughing and sneezing for a few minutes the judge sent me home. I still got paid for the whole day. I don't mind jury duty; I can always hope some SOB I don't like is on trial. LOL

Would you want me on your jury?
Unquestionably, without a single reservation.

I'd serve again. We need law-abiding Christians serving on juries. Of course, in today's climate, I'd automatically be excluded.

Sounds like shirking duty to me.
Yep--I used to be called up just about every year and was always rejected be cause when I was asked if I was friends with or related to police officers I told the t***h and said yes . Always rejected and a whole day wasted .

We'd drink a couple of cold ones after you found me innocent of assault and manslaughter...

I was the second alternate juror in a trial 3 years ago. I thought I had escaped the trial. The last jury was picked and I was going home. Then they picked the alternates. I was the second alternate, as I said. The very last juror of the session. I was in shock.
It's a lot of sitting around. Very boring. More than once as things d**gged on, I thought I would go nuts and have a panic attack. The first alternate became a regular juror half way in the trial when a juror was excused. I sat through the entire trial. As an alternate, I had to sit out the deliberations.
We were let out for lunch and told to not talk about the case. I knew someone who was ratted out in another trial while at lunch for allegedly talking about his case in a bar across the street from the court house. The bartenders are not your friend. He convinced the Judge of his innocence. When I ate lunch in that bar I was very aware of the rats.

I would have no qualms or hesitations in having you serve on my jury. In my lifetime, I have served on three juries.

If it isn't to late and you can get it on the internet, watch "12 Angry Men". Good take on juries, biases and working to find the t***h.
Great cast...terrific movie

Howdy Slats. I'd trust you to be on my jury. The last one I sat on we sent a man to prison for animal cruelty. I only wish we could have treated him like he treated his dog, chained to a tree in the summer, in Florida mostly without food & water. The dog became so emaciated his internal organ failed and he had to be euthanized.

I got lucky today, and didn't make the cut. They chose 45 out of about 90 of us, and, I was on the excused list. Thank goodness!!
