Why do I get stuck in jury duty

They moved on shortly after the initial conversation. If it lasted longer I might have

Seriously?

Should of made it like getting permits and tell them "Because of a back log at work, it will be 9 months till I can serve." I wonder how well that would go over.

I doubt they'll pick me if I get called either way.

 

At least it was better than listening to the retired school teacher complaining about benefits and contracts.

Wow. I would totally enjoy jury duty... I've never been called since I moved to NJ. My wife did get a jury summons twice already but she wasn't selected.

 

My company pays my full salary for jury duty so there are no financial problems.

I have Jury Duty on the 17th. Trying to decide which pro-gun t-shirt to wear.

 

I just got a notice in the mail today for jury duty in May. I plan on wearing my "America's Original Homeland security" t-shirt and NRA hat.

I was going to wear my "fighting terrorism since 1492" shirt that I got from my visit to the hualapai nation in Arizona.

I have only been notified once, but I had a high number and never was called in.

I would not mind doing it, but probably I would get dropped because I am an engineer (too analytical to decide matters of law ;-)

I actually enjoyed my time last year for a week. It gave me the opportunity to put a repeat criminal back in jail on a 3rd charge (gun-related). I convinced 6 others that he was a liar and was trying to pull a fast one on the system and deserved to get smacked this time.

I didn't mind going. And don't really have an issue with serving. But all I did was sit in a room from 9 to 4 two days in a row. Never even got called in

I had to spend a few days in Camden. I think Im now on the never to be used list. They asked how I felt about sex crimes and punishment and I said it should be a public execution. NEXT

I was picked on a jury for a rape case.

Lasted 3 & 1/2 weeks.

Guilty as sin, and as a bonus his DNA was was linked to a few other unsolved cases.

The hardest part was staying awake, the gory details, (victim was mentally challenged) and the defense attorney breaking open the evidence bags.

Holy cow Ron. I am sure things in a trial can drag on. Can you imagine being on the ok trial?

 

Anyhow, never been called since I'm in NJ, neither my wife or I. Our companies pay for jury duty time anyway.

Exactly. It will provide for a quick and painless dismissal!
