I ran, but I couldn't hide. Gotta report tomorrow morning at 8:15.

All you have to do is inform the court that you are a thief (which you have admitted to being) and they will boot you.

tabasco · 03-02-2011, 05:23 PM

Before reporting put some peanut butter in your ass crack. In full view casually put your hand down your pants, scoop some up in your hand and eat it. They'll probably let you go home after seeing this.

Paint a swastika on your fore head and talk gibberish

Good to know. I'll be sure to let them know what Pathfinder from GFY has to say.

Have had to call in all week. They called in 400 jurors tomorrow I'm in the first 15 numbers, so I should be out fairly quickly. I have a bunch of friends who are cops and that's usually enough to get me off from what I'm told.

WarChild · 03-02-2011, 06:14 PM

Yeah, fuck Jury Duty! You're way too important for that kind of shit!

We can only hope that one day you find yourself wrongfully accused of a serious crime and looking across the defense table at the jury of people that were "too stupid to get out of Jury Duty". Perhaps then you'll have an appreciation for the importance of having a jury of your peers and not just unemployed losers.

Ron Bennett · 03-02-2011, 06:20 PM

I always mention on the jury duty form that I support jury nullification for drug related offenses. I've never been called down to serve - have always been excused.

But if ever I got called to serve for a home burglary, car theft, or some case like that, no prob ... but anything drug related, no way.

In my view, drug laws are unjust and hence the defendant, regardless of such laws on the books, is not guilty.

And yes, jury nullification in cases involving unjust laws is not only a right, but an obligation, of jurors. Of course, both sides (Prosecutor for obvious reasons; Defense to avoid a retrial) prefer to steer clear of jurors with such views. Ignorance is bliss when it comes to jury selection.

bronco67 · 03-02-2011, 07:18 PM

When they question you, just tell them you don't like Puerto Ricans.

Seth Manson · 03-02-2011, 07:29 PM

Jury duty is a quite interesting process. You just may enjoy it.

Supz · 03-02-2011, 07:31 PM

PStarks · 03-02-2011, 08:29 PM

When in doubt just explain that you have a super power that allows you to 100% tell if someone is guilty. Then just start mumbling some odd gerbish... works every time

sorry to hear that

Sunny Day · 03-03-2011, 01:34 AM

Sat on 2 trials
1 woman suing her insurance company, the scum
2 two professional bank robbers down for the 4th time
Lately been skipping as I couldn't afford the loss of wages
Fortunately, my county has so many skips, they don't bother to hassle you

John-ACWM · 03-03-2011, 01:51 AM

Sounds just like in the movies

Adraco · 03-03-2011, 03:51 AM

This is why you always make sure to enroll in a college course. Because as a college student, you will always get exempted, since you cannot afford to miss your classes. Even part time student works absolutely fine. This at least applies to all courts in Texas, you show up for questioning and selection, tell them you are a registered college student and then they will exempt you.

Sign up for a PE class or something, usually gives you free or very cheap tennis court rentals, free or cheap pool entrance and most have a gym you can use for a low fee per semester. Plus you get to hang out with all the college girls.

Sweet!

Cyndalie · 03-03-2011, 08:41 AM

I've gone twice, spent 6 hours watching bad tv to not get picked or have the trial settled before entering a court room.

Babaganoosh · 03-03-2011, 08:52 AM

I don't mind a little jury duty. I've been called in 3 times but only served on one jury. It was an adventure. Just going in and taking part in a criminal trial was a cool experience.

candyflip · 03-03-2011, 09:03 AM

Its a malpractice suit against my girlfriend's OBGYN. The Dr. being sued delivered 2 of my children. I expect to be dismissed before lunch.

candyflip · 03-03-2011, 09:04 AM

NY has no expemtions. If they call you, you serve. Doesn't matter who you are or what you do.

Rochard · 03-03-2011, 09:22 AM

Tell them your a pornographer and be done with it.

candyflip · 03-03-2011, 09:26 AM

Didn't need to.

The fact that I have a relationship with the Dr. being sued was enough to get me dismissed.

They actually mentioned something about changing your address on a new driver's license registration. That's something I've done in the past 6 months...so that's my guess as to how they got me.

I'm good though, showing up for a few hours today get's me off the hook for the next 8 years.
