3. !
:thumbsup:

I probably would not have to return tomorrow if it had not been for his impromptu 45 minute lecture on constitutional law.

That coupled with the 13 minute film about Jury Service we saw first thing this morning, which happened to be narrated by Bebe Neuwirth, I think I have what my role is pretty well in hand TYVM.

11. I was on a jury panel 3 weeks ago. We had to endure 2 days of questioning
and I didn't get picked. I wanted to serve.

There was a guy that started banging his head against the wall...he didn't get picked either

when the defense lawyer asked him what would be on his favorite t-shirt, he said he couldn't say or else they would take him to jail..hehe

14. Under different circumstances I would not mind serving
Childcare is an issue though and we really cannot afford to pay for childcare while I am serving on a jury.

12. Not if his name is "Judge Douchebag"
It would be respectful to call the judge a douchebag in that particular instance.

I just love offering useful advice.

20. The one time I was called to jury duty, the one woman who was immediately bounced
Edited on Wed May-06-09 08:57 AM by BlueIris
by the judged was allowed to leave after saying that it was against her religious beliefs to sit in judgment on others. It probably helped that she sounded sincere. If you could sound sincere while saying that it's against either your spiritual convictions or personal moral code to pass judgment upon the condemed or something, it might help.

p.s. You have a pm.
