I have terrible luck. I'd get stuck on a trial that lasts a long ass time.Glory Days;1129904 wrote:most arent long and drawn out.
Last time I went I wore dress pants, a white hood, a tie, dress pants and dress shoes. I didn't get selected.justincredible;1129905 wrote:Believe me, I won't have a guilty conscious if I can get out of it because I won't be lying to get out of it. I'm simply going to have my boss write a letter explaining the burden it would put on the company. If that gets me out, great. If not, I'll deal with it.
Also, what does one typically wear to jury duty? Because I'll be showing up in jeans and a t shirt if I have to report.

Haha only sleeper. Probably a black man in a white hood with 2 pairs of dress pants on.sleeper;1129977 wrote:Last time I went I wore dress pants, a white hood, a tie, dress pants and dress shoes. I didn't get selected.
They probably validate.justincredible;1130169 wrote:I just found out that I'll be required to pay for parking if I have to report to the courthouse. That sucks.
Yeah, they validate for me to get a "discount" rate. I still have to pay $5 or $6 depending on the lot I park in.Skyhook79;1130178 wrote:They probably validate.

Walked into jury duty smelling like Christian Slater once, that'll get you dismissed quickly lol
Sounds made up to me...Mr Miyagi;1130355 wrote:i have been selected for jury duty numerous times, all were cancelled except for one. After they seated about 6 of the jurors they came to my number and asked " why would you make a good jury member?"
I looked the attorney in the eye and replied "Because I can tell if a guy is guilty just by looking at him"
The attorney turned toward the judge and asked that i be excused, and i was back to work by 10 am......
Don't do that. You may be held in contempt and forced to stay there the entire time anyway. Or be fined.Bio-Hazzzzard;1129371 wrote:Do what I did, I wrote a letter and said that I do not believe I should be forced serve in jury duty. I also said that whoever the defendant is for this case they are already guilty if I would be there juror. I basicically wanted to let them now that my decision would be guilty no matter what, that's what relieved me of duty.
If they asked "why would you make a good jury member?" I could answer it truthfully and they might dismiss me.Mr Miyagi;1130355 wrote:i have been selected for jury duty numerous times, all were cancelled except for one.

I'd hope not. Because if I got called on, that'd be my answer and it'd be honest. I don't give a fuck about shit like that. And if I don't care about something, it shows.justincredible;1131032 wrote:If they asked "why would you make a good jury member?" I could answer it truthfully and they might dismiss me.
"I honestly do not feel like I would be a good jury member. I am easily distracted and my mind tends to wander when I am bored. Unless I find the case interesting I would likely make a terrible juror."
Would that get me in trouble?
Yeah, they may not like the answer but it would be 100% truth. Now, if the case was interesting I'd have no problem paying attention.Heretic;1131034 wrote:I'd hope not.
