That actually doesn't work, and in some courtrooms will get you held in contempt. Be on the safe side and don't try it... I'll never forget the shocked look on a potential jurer's face when he got fined $500 dollars for saying something along those lines in a California Superior Court.

Well shit. Luckily the one time I got jury duty I just had to call a number and they said they didn't need me

Yeah. Here in California they're more likely to throw the book at a juror than the d.b. who did the crime that got everyone there in the 1st place.

Yeah, it's funny cause the one time I was in the courtroom for jury duty vs work (which was going to get me out of it anyway) I kept watching the defense attorney ask potential jurors if they believed that cops told the truth just because they were cops. And I watched person after person say no. Dumbest group of people I've ever seen. The guy was just looking for people to dismiss and not a single person bit on it.

I'm extremely empathic and highly perceptive. . I understood your point of view from the beginning. I just didn't agree with your inability to understand where grampa was coming from and your need to insult him for it. Perhaps I took it wrong. I don't even associate the word retard with people who have a genuine disability. I would never even consider using that word to describe someone who does. Maybe you should try to do the same.

I'm saying don't associate that word to you or your situation. If someone personally attacks you or a loved one with it, by all means, be offended. Chances are you're not going to change the world, but you can change how you react to it.

I guess you just don't understand my point of view. Moving on then...

I think I do, but I took this over to PM's instead of continuing to muck up this light hearted thread.

Well I'm in a courtroom, not in the initial 18, so I hope I get out of this. It's a civil case, I think I can say that much, so my DA relationship ain't gonna do anything for me. :(

Good luck and make sure that you pay attention to how long they say that the trial is going to last versus how much jury pay you get from your employer.

It's okay to make it clear that you do not have vacation time to donate to a lengthy trial and that going without pay for even a couple of days would be a financial hardship on your family.

They WILL try to trip you up on this point on a multi-day trial and get you to agree that you get jury duty pay from your employer and therefore are able to sit on a multi-day trial. Phrase your responses in terms of the trial lasts X days, I get Y days and missing Z days of pay will be a financial hardship. It also amazes me how many people don't pay attention to these crucial points.

Good luck,

Bill

Here in Arizona we get a card in the mail that tells us we have to report for jury duty, isn't that how it works in other states?

That's how it's done in Georgia.
I received one just a few days ago. I'm pretty sure that's karma kicking my ass because I sorta laughed at someone else here who was serving.

I've never received one, but a couple of people I know just tossed them, never called the number and never heard anything.
