Enjoy. ;D

haha you sarcastic bitch. *sighs* :facepalm2:
-
If you're chosen for a jury they'll feed you. And you get free coffee and snacks in the Jury Room.
-
They won't ever pick you. You're safe. No worries.

Or maybe they will, and maybe you'll help decide the verdict in the trial of the century!
Then you can be on Court TV explaining things to Nancy Grace! Good luck! :headbang2:
-
Tell the judge you will set them all free
-
If called just act the way you always do they will never pick you :lol1: You get a whopping $50 a day here to go but it's just one day if they don't pick you. Bring a book and nothing metal unless you want to fuck with security

Yes, I shall become America's fattest and most beloved citizen! :oranna:

I have done Jury Duty twice and been voir dere'd a couple of other times. I consider the 6th amendment to be a good thing so I don't lie to get out of Jury Duty.

You would be a great asset to a jury IMO, maybe one day we will see YOU talking to
Nancy Grace on Court TV. I have been summoned a couple of times but sent home. :apondering:
-
Fuck Nancy Grace. Using trials as entertainment is bullshit.
-
Be sure to wave around that gargantuan richard in the courtroom! :zoinks:
-
Tell the judge you will set them all free
Or alternatively, tell them "everyone is guilty regardless" :laugh:
-
Just be yourself, and you will be done in no time. Or our government, in its infinite wisdom, might make you the foreman. You never know what those politicians are thinking.
-

But he'll still be in the courtroom later on, as the defendant. But still, anything is better than jury duty though, especially if the defendant you've got to sit as jury for is hell's angels or organised crime related.

Juries select their foreman. No one is appointed by any officer of the court.

That's right, Richard would be elected foreman by a jury of his peers! :2thumbsup:

I dont think many people would mind jury duty if they actually paid you a fair market price for your service. Here they dont pay you for the first day and the second day (as per there website) they pay you a measly $15 a fucking day! this whole process is really starting to scare me, i mean whos going to do a good job being payed like that? Is this why some opt out for a judge to be the final say and not go through a jury trial? fuck that. also its a fuckin waste of time, i'm not really familiar with the are so I have to take the bus. will the court reimburse me for my fucking buss ticket for a week? i doubt it.
oh well they have wifi so i'll be taking pictures of the fat judge with my computer. :orly:

It hasn't taken me that long to get the check. Should be within two weeks of completing service.
-
Ahh. did you have to stay the entire day? would you care to share us your jury story dude? was it miserable?
If you are up this way, you should meet me at the courthouse. we could have lunch together! :thumbup:

The first day you won't get paid for unless you get selected, after that you get paid for every day even if the let you out early. Mostly it is not too bad and you can feel good about doing it when it is done. My sleep schedule is fucked up right now, 8:00 am is about when I have been going to sleep lately. I am torn between fixing my sleep schedule or letting it be so my time in Australia has a regular day schedule. :apondering:
-
I see. austraila is pretty far away, :laugh: how is it down under? I saw a show on the sydney funnel web spider and oh boy thats one gnarley bug.
I just like to complain alot. i have a wierd feeling i'm going to enjoy jury duty somehow, :M
-
I'm not there yet Richard. Another month I will be. I sure as hell don't want to deal; with a funnel web spider. :zombiefuck: You should do fine on Jury Duty. They pay mileage for people with vehicles so you may get a bus pass out of it.
-
good luck in austraila dude, :thumbup:
austraila seems to be like a watermelon rind, everyone lives near the cost. I'd defintly check out some of the sapphire river? beds they have out there. they pirticularly seem to produce fine green sapphire
-
Thanks Richard, I didn't realize that Sapphire came in green. Of course I don't know geology as well as you do. I have my 9 ct fire agate with me right now though. They are fine stones. :thumbup:
-
Oh yeah, I forgot about that fire agate you bought. Sapphires come in all different colors, pretty much every color and the red variaty of the mineral corundum then becomes ruby. Fire agate thanks you for showing them some attention, down in austraila they also have opal. and i think you'll be amazed at just how expencive they are

A lady here lied to get out of jury duty dressing crazy and telling the judge that her PTSD was making it impossible for her to serve, so the judge dismissed her. A few months later, she was bragging on the radio about how she did all that and was lying about the PTSD just to get out of jury duty and the judge heard her. She was arrested.
-
will the court reimburse me for my fucking buss ticket for a week?
They sell tickets now?

I saw that, she would have gotten away with it if she would have kept her big mouth shut. :laugh:

I remember going to Coober pedy in South Australia when i was 12. (Yes, yes I know it was in the mid 1800's) and saw the best opals. they became my favourite gemstones. They also showed the mines and the underground houses people built. Fucking eye opening. All bullshit aside Richard, i fucking loved it and it would be a wet dream whilst you were awake. Catch a few more charity meals and save your stone money and go to SA. You will be amazed.
-
I love opals however, much like diamonds they are over hyped wich means the price is sky high. you can get fine black opal from the virgin valley in nevada thats just as good as the austrialian stuff. from what i hear coober peedy is all but done, and lightning ridge is the only place to get any decent opal now. Another reason is they crack and craze over time, because the water inside the stone gives it, its color. the water eventually evaporates out of the stone because its basically hardend silica jel. This is mostley why I fell in love wiith fire agate
not only is it much more scarce, it doesnt have any of the other problems mentioned above that opal has.
I still like opals though and they are beautiful

I have jury duty coming up in about a month. I'll show up like a good little citizen because, well, I have to, but I suspect I won't have to lie to disqualify myself; I am extremely prejudiced against the criminal injustice system at this point. I need to dedicate the time to research how else I can make myself appear undesirable, though.

If you don't like how it works perhaps you should consider having a say in what happens by serving as a juror if you are picked. I don't regret one bit that motherfucker who tried to kill his wife going away for a long time, or the guyy who my other jury acquitted because the prosecution had a dogshit case.

Not worth it to me. Because of how my job works, taking time off short-term effects my ability to make money long-term (even aside from the reduced compensation to begin with). Even just the day I will have to take off is probably going to end up being damaging down the road. I will mention that as well. I'd be unmotivated to take the time necessary to arrive at a good verdict. And also, fuck being a cog in the system.

I agree with PPK, because I think juries need more people who won't just be sheep and apply BS laws to send people to prison. I think that if this happens, then jury nullification is the last step in the process to protect these people.
However, if you have any relatives who are in law enforcement and you tell them this, they won't pick you for a jury.
If it will create a real financial hardship for you to be on a jury, they might excuse you from service.
What if being on a jury would be a financial hardship for me?
People who have an extreme financial hardship may be excused from jury duty. Do not ignore the summons. You must respond to the summons in order to be excused for hardship. The Jury Commissioner is happy to work with you. You may have to prove this hardship with a letter from your employer or with some other documentation. Last year, the Jury Commissioner excused 11,472 people due to financial hardship, without them ever having to come to court.
However, don't just fill out the jury questionaire to say that you hate a particular group of people to get out of serving. Some guy in Massachusetts tried to get out of jury duty. The first thing he did was fill out the questionnaire saying that he hated gays. The judge then asked him if he was a racist and he said yes. He also said he was a liar. So the judge asked him if he was lying right now and the guy said "I could be." So the judge sent him to jail.

If your up for a good laugh read this entire page. the part about sitting there listening to everyone make up excuses about why they cant serve is hilarious.

I'm not going to do something stupid, Callaway. However, I do not want to be on a jury. Moralize all you want; I don't give a shit. I have my reasons.

I know that you are too smart to do something stupid and I know you have your reasons for not wanting to be on a jury. That's why I included the relatives in law enforcement and the financial hardship reasons. I don't know how severe the financial hardship would have to be to get you out of having to serve where you live, but it might be worth a try. I know that here, defense lawyers don't want people related to policemen on the jury and I have three relatives who are involved in law enforcement, so I probably wouldn't be picked. I assumed that it's the same way there.
I think that a good way not to be picked to serve on a jury is to act like you really want to be on one and if you bring up the concept of jurors not having to strictly follow the law as explained to them by the lawyers and the judge if that law violates their conscience, the prosecution probably won't want you on the jury either. IMO, the smarter and better educated you are, the less likely it is they will want you to serve.
BTW, is it too late to call and ask for a different date for jury duty because you have a scheduling conflict? If it's not and you ask for an alternate date that's sooner than the date on your summons, they probably would just move you to the end of the list since they are likely to have already called all the jurors they need for dates sooner than yours.

I enjoyed my week of service. The case involved endless boring e-mails, but there was justice to be done,
and I think we did it. Also enjoyed the free coffee, pastries, juices, sandwiches, etc. And one morning
I arrived at the courthouse, and the officer in front asked, "Are you a juror?" I was proud to say yes. 8)

I want to be fed and sequestered for about a week at the Hampton Inn.

Every morning there was coffee and juice and pastry. Every lunchtime someone on the staff
sent out for sandwiches and chips from a nearby deli. It was a sweet deal, AND I got to miss work! :laugh:

I haven't done Jury Duty yet :-/
Although there are probably a few reasons why...

Name one of them. :P

Maybe he's a felon. :zoinks:

Maybe I'm too "stupid" for it :-/

You could wait until the trial, after getting the free lunch, and then see what ethnic group the person on trial is then exclaim just loudly enough to be sure it gets overheard, 'lets get this *insert ethnic slur appropriate to ethnic group of defendent* sent down' or 'we need to stick up for our fellow...' either one should get yourself disqualified.
Although if its a drugs trial and the defendent hasn't been violent, stick with it and give a not guilty verdict regardless of the circumstances, since the US judicial system is massively biased against such people and the DEA twist everything in their favour if they can. And such people shouldn't be in court anyway. For example, if someone were caught with LSD, which is dosed in the microgram range, the entire weight of the carrier (that is, the paper, or gelatine its contained in in windowpanes, or inert tablet binders for microdots) is classed as weight of the drug when sentencing is considered, so someone caught with enough PAPER to weigh 1g (which would be a rather large quantity of pure LSD) would get sentenced not for the few milligrams of acid on the blotters but for the entire weight of the inert backing, which would get treated as if it too were the drug itself) same goes for inert cutting agents and people end up doing time way out of proportion to what they actually had. Not that they should be in court in the first place, let alone doing time.

My sister always did. I hate it too many people in a closed space and you can't leave also just going in the court house sucks I always seem to set off the metal detectors and get the stink eye from security

Me too.

It seems to be rare here. A friend of mine did jury duty once about 10 years ago. That's the only time I've known of anyone to do it.
I wouldn't like to do it now, going to college is too important to me.

I have had to go and sit at the court house twice, once nobody picked me the other time I was got a excused for family reasons
-
I've gotten the letter twice, once I was excused for family reasons...and the other time it was for the wrong county.
The town I'm in falls under two different counties. Basically one side of the river is one county, stand on the other side...and your in a different one.

I've only lived in two counties in Illinois, and being called for Jury Duty wasn't an occurrence in either of them.

Once when my wife was called she was picked and went to the next stage where they ask questions to see if they really want you on the jury. The case was one of some inter city kid arrested in some sort of drug sting and was claiming it was a set up, prosecutors must have thought she was perfect(white, middle class, school teacher from the suburbs) and then they asked her if she thought the police would ever lie and make up evidence to which she promptly said yes. Needless to say they didn't pick her for the jury :zoinks:

Funny, though. It just occurred to me that I probably know more about UK laws than Sweden's these days. A consequence of working for a UK legal publisher.

We don't have jury duty here. Or in Moomin land, for that matter.

You should become a lay judge. You seem qualified. Do it! :asthing: :asthing: :asthing:
No way in hell. :P
Funny, though. It just occurred to me that I probably know more about UK laws than Sweden's these days. A consequence of working for a UK legal publisher.
Now you're not only the Court Musician, but the Queen's Counsel.
