sorry guys, screwed my back up so been slow again.
That is sad when it happens. I hope you feel better soon.
I second that. From a chronic pain sufferer.
No problem, take your time to get better.
Yeah, I moved something I shouldn't of. The Next day I couldn't bend. Its a chronic issue that tries to kill me from time to time.
Sorry, been gone for Jury selection.
I guess my quote of hang the guilty bastard wasn't what they were looking for in an impartial juror. :)
Actually, it was because I could not speak french that they turned me away.
Heh, I had the opposite experience. I got excluded from the jury for saying that I didn't give LEOs special preference with regard to testimony, and if they wanted me to believe something, show me the evidence.
I got selected once and all we did was sit up stairs one day a week for two weeks. I may have also forgot I had Jury duty one day and freaked out lol
Keeper - so, you were an alternate juror?
I've been to two jury selections. In one of them, the defense lawyer asked the guy sitting next to me if he was related to so-and-so, because they had the same last name. I'm not exaggerating when I say the guy sounded just like Goofy in the way he talked : "Huh-yuh! Could be - I dunnow!" (imagine Goofy saying that - that's how he sounded).
He was accepted by both the defense and prosecutor.
In the other one, I asked a clarifying question about the "do you know anything about the aspects of this case beyond the average person" question, and wasn't selected.
Lesson learned : to get out of jury duty, look at the prosecutor and defender, and appear interested in what's going on. Ask a clarifying question if possible. They don't want smart people on the jury...
No, it was more for drug court. We sit up stairs just in case someone wanted a trial. No one did, they either took their sentence or made deals. That is good advice, they don't like folks asking to many questions.
