At the very least, civil disputes will involve some severe physical threats.

20. This is a good one
Sister: ---- went to jail for WHAT?
Me: Kidnapping. What the hell did you think he went to jail for?
Sister: I don't know. I figured he stole something or something like that.
Me: Yeah, this dude owed him money, so he stole the dude.

12. I loved it. I've been called for jury duty in 4 states.
Been through voir dire twice, served on one jury. I was really disappointed when they sent me home last time without even getting questioned for a jury. I think it's cool, but I realize I am in a minority.

Heck, I figure the people having to go through our judicial system deserve the best and the brightest as their jury of peers. And I'm it baby.

9. GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! I saw it myself - AXE murder, AK-47 - GUILTY!
HANG THE BASTARD!

Wait, the charge was jaywalking? Okay, don't hang him then. Just life in prison.

13. I wish I could serve on a jury just once
to see what it's like.

Every time I get called I either don't end up being seated or I am struck (stiked?) by counsel. :(

21. Congratulations. Jury Duty was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I thought it would
be so important, but it was destructive to society, not even neutral, let alone constructive or making things better in any way.

Our jury pools suck.
