Give me your Liscence and I will report for you.
My husband got called for a drunk driving case. I can't remember exactly what they asked him but I think it had to do something with him being objective or something like that. My husband said something to the effect that the guy looked like a drunk and was excused.
Give me your Liscence and I will report for you.
I'm not sure if I'd show up or not....the jury is still out on that one.
That may be your best photoshop yet!
I was on a three day petty theft case. We had taped phone calls, signed do ents, witnesses, and the whole nine yards. It was fun since I got my 6 bucks a day and got payed at work.
Jury duty.
They do not get you from registered voter list. They stopped doing that years ago.
It is from drivers license pool.
Is it true you can tell them you are racist or phobe or something like that and they wont select you??
Just tell them you hate mezkins and honkeys and you'll see them fry for making you miss Springer.
It is true. When I was asked if enything might alter my judgment , I said I had a big problem with drunk drivers and that thier was no excuse they could give me to convince me that this guys case was "special". They said O.K. have a nice day and thanks for coming . I was out by noon.
It is also true that if you are obviously being ridiculous on purpose to avoid serving, the judge can find you in contempt of court. My cousin was threatened with this when he tried the George Carlin "I'd be great on a jury because I can spot a guilty person <snap> just like that!" bit. So be careful with the witty stuff.
Before I opened it I knew what it was about.
Use Larry Davids approach from the best 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' ever, the one where he picked up the hooker to drive in the diamond lane...
Anyway, terrible thing to realize a person is being judged by 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. That entire process is so corrupted. They ask you anything and everything to see if you're 'qualified'. They should grab 12 people, sit their asses down in the jury box, determine if they are legally registered to vote and then START THE FRIGGIN TRIAL.
I don't believe in the death penalty. Yeah, so what. I dont' like men, yeah..so what. I don't like brown people. Yeah, so what. I was molested as a child. Yeah, good for you, sit your ass down and enjoy your time on jury duty, thank you very much.
Rack !
I'll be waking up in three hours for jury duty. I'm going to try every excuse in the book to get out of it. Hopefully I am successful and out of there by noon.
Nobody wants me on a jury. I'll just be pissed off the whole time and not paying attention. Usually I wouldn't mind too much, but being my own boss also means I have to be working all day. I'm not going to lose $$$ to serve on jury duty. There are plenty of people out there who want to serve because they got paid leave and to them it's like a mini-vacation. That ain't me, tho.

Hmm... comparing that to going to Utah, wow that's gotta suck..
I'll do alot to watch any type of basketball when the season's over...
I'm downloading some spur action... it's gonna hit me soon.
Poor L.J. Fingers crossed that you aren't picked.
P.S. Let me know when I can uncross them. Feels freaky to type this way = )
What do you mean? he's already going.... right?
Or am I wrong?
I'm not registered to vote and I've been picked twice in 8 months.
He's going because he's in a pool of potential jurors but he can be excused sometime during the day and not have served on a jury.
It happens.....
I'll see you there LJ!!
Actually according to Bexar County, it's both ..
Bexar County summons jurors from the county's registered voters records and the Texas Department of Public Safety's (DPS) list of people with a driver's license and Texas identification cards. The office of the Texas Secretary of State merges the records and purges convicted felons from the list. Then the county has a computer program randomly select potential jurors from those records.
I'm off. I better be back by noon.
Believe.
Kori said you are on your way back! Great news! My circulation is killing me! = )
Seiously, yea you!
i have jury duty next week...i'll get booted off i'm sure, but i wouldn't mind sitting on one..
Clandestino at Jury duty: Death Penalty for him!
Other Jurors: What? This is about unpaid child support!
Clandestino: Uh, umm, ok, life in prison!
There's always Gitmo.
