GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (3 Viewers)

They left me alone for 16 years. I send one letter to the circuit court with my middle finger and all of a sudden, I'm selected for jury duty the day before Thanksgiving? :oldunsure:

 
Took them 25 years to catch up to me. Sat in a room with a plethora of unsavory types and thought for sure I was doomed to some trial.

When it was all said and done, I never was called on the first day. Before leaving that first day, we were asked to call after 5:00 PM each day to see if we would be needed the next day. I was never needed and didn't have to go back.

Hoping it takes them another 25 years.

don't know if this is schtick, but I fully believe in it, and in serving.

we've got four responsibilities as good muricans far as I can tell:

- pay taxes. sucks

- vote. meh. I'm in NYC- 8 mil folk here, about 1 million probably vote. Look at me! I'm one in a million! and 98% of us voted for THAT guy.

- follow the law. boring. unless I'm on my bike or skateboard, then #### all of you

- jury duty. that fellow standing there did what? you don't say. well- me and these handful of other people will be the judge...so to speak... of that. and these other people are morons. you want me up there. you need me up there. otherwise that murderer will be acquitted because he "looks" like somebody my cojuror knows- and the guy she knows couldn't/wouldn't possibly hurt a fly (actually happened). it's the one thing we do that actually makes a difference, IMO. I'm all-in.... except for my last round of jury duty last month- murderers can walk- I just didn't have the time for it.

Think I read a Grisham novel about floppo.

 
I have always thought we should make jury duty a full time job. just have professional jurors. god effin forbid I need to get in front of 12 slack jawed yokels deciding my fate. I hear the same story.....no one wants to be there. no one really cares. rinse repeat.

As strange is that is, I'm shocked to learn what she pays per month in rent:

Chase first suspected something strange was happening inside her $1,875-a-month, fifth-floor studio when she returned from a Labor Day trip to the Hamptons last year and couldn’t find a purple lace bra.

no shtick

I'm jealous of people who get to serve on a jury. never even got close myself.

ah good.

It took some work to NOT get picked this time. rape trial... and I admit now that I've got a little daughter, the idea of being impartial was a little tough... even though I know I could've done it. I also was up to my eyeballs with time sensitive stuff at work and couldn't afford to miss a week.

I've been selected the last two (civil case involving a bank-robbery, running shootout through the streets of NYC, hostage taking, and subsequent gunning down of the hostage and bankrobber by the cops.was also on a criminal case- murder over a coat. that one involved the cojuror thinking the boy looked nice, so couldn't possibly be a murderer). both trials were amazingly interesting. maybe not as much as a panty sniffing super.

I'm so glad Louisiana doesn't require a unanimous jury verdict.

 
The one time I was on a jury, I was the alternate. Sat through the whole trial and was asked to go home before deliberations. Kinda sucked.

couple years ago I was picking a jury for a trial that was estimated at 8 weeks. on day two, it was pretty easy to spot the people that wanted to be excused. one juror picked that day, apparently, to begin reading To Kill a Mockingbird (kudos for his subtlety). 2 or 3 brought bibles. one brought a coffee table size copy of a Ronald Reagan biography. we just laughed and didn't care.
