Jury Duty

[MD Dog]

Jury pool questioning takes place in private here. I just tell them I'm an ex cop, that usually does it. Only once did a lawyer say so what, I got a letter two weeks later saying I had been excused even after getting chosen. Guessing his partners got to him and explained why we ex- cops can't be objective like lawyers can. If I had too I'd just tell them straight out that if the Police say he/she did it then that's good enough for me. I'm a firm supporter of the Judge Dred concept.

It was about 50 people called in for jury duty sitting in a court room...thats how they do it here. I'd rather get a wippin than be called in for jury duty!

My daddy, who is 74, and i wouldnt recommend anyone doing this, but he'll get a jury summons and wad it up and throw it in the trash. If i did that i'd go to jail! lol

I once worked for a company that had a guy from Alabama working there . I told him that I got the letter and he told me how he gets out . He said he reports and asks "Where do the WHITE jurors sit ?" He said it works .

If there is enough evedince to press charges then he is guilty.

Same thing here! I usually wear the T shirt with the skull wearing a marine cover that says "Kill em all & Let God sort em out". Never got to the questions the first time, Only answered one question the second.

I think I raised the "get me outta jury duty" bar this morning. I was summoned and as I sat in the juror's room I noticed a dry erase board, a marker and eraser. The room was silent as we all just stared at each other so I decided a game of hangman would be a fun bonding experience.

anyone wanna guess what I decided the answer would be?

"Guilty" ?

 

[vibes]

Dang MD, that's a good one...wish I thought of that. but no, you do not get what's in the box or behind the curtain

[MD Dog]

[ivan salis]

Innocent --- as in hanging a innocent man? did you go there?

 

[vibes]

Does this help? Taking for granted that everyone knows how to play the game.

[ivan salis]

Kidnapping ?

 

[vibes]

LOL...no, the answer was : defendant

cmon, that was so obvious And I made sure if that didn't work I responded to the question asked: "If you could have a free day, no work, can't sit at home and we gave you 100 bucks, what would you do?"

I said, "I'd buy some delicious snacks, booze and treasure hunt. " I wasn't lying
