i get to do jury duty thursday!!!

nine

today? up late much? oh, I'll be one of many to say "bring a book"

Remember. You hate everybody.

and have "issues"

C'mon, this is a vital and great civic duty, on the level of privilege. Were you being tried, would you not want jurors with a compelling desire for justice in the land? Instead of people looking to get off for any of a number of contrived excuses, defects, and morally "challenging" issues?

(being a strong proponent of the death penalty works every time)

Tell them you dabble in studying the law. They LOVE that.

I just got my notice in the mail yesterday to report on 6/22 and check in over a 2 week period...uh...ok.

...so far so good! I miss downtown l.a.! used to work here back in the '80s. nice to be back. can't wait til lunch break when I can venture out amoung the mixture of yuppies, illegals, and homeless-both stable and unstable. makes you feel alive.

yeah-i am in no way "trying" to get out of it. In fact, I would like to be an actual juror. hopefully something cool like getting to put a bad guy behind bars, or keeping an innocent defendant outta jail.

funny... I was really excited last night when I called in and found out I had been chosen.

ever since I bacame an american I have looked forward to voting(done that) and now this.

pitty the poor sap who's future is in my hands.....j/k

"Yer-onner, I'm all in favor of bringing back more classic methods of punitive ramifications. I say 'bust out the noose and let's hang-em until they stop-a-quiverin'".

Suggest waterboarding as a way to get the truth.

LOL @ this...I have jury duty next week.

I had jury duty 6 weeks ago, but it got canceled the day before.

I'm gonna insist I get chosen this time, or else--I refuse to structure my gaddam miserable existence around whether I might or might not have jury duty.

Nine, you gotta go to downtown L.A. for this?

yup-downtown.

and I just got pulled for jury selection.

I haven't been called up in 8 years, ever since my wife went to work

for the county DA office.

Connection?

^ WOW

IN THIS ECONOMY THAT IS A JOB THAT REALLY PAYS WELL!!

I got my summons about a month ago. Had to check in each day for a week, didn't get picked so now I'm good to go for 6 years.

6 years- what friggin' state you live in? we're only good for one year here in cali....

Never been called. Wish they would call me for one of those 6 month sequestered type trials.

The wife on the other hand has been called 4 times over the last 2 years. Finally served on her first jury last week. Now she is free and clear for 2 years.
