Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire U.S. District Court Jury duty

Just came from the mail box. I've been selected. JFC!!!.

I told them in the questionaire about 3 months ago I was 70 & didn't hear well. What kind of genious would select me? Oh they'll figgure it out once they deal with me for a bit & I guess I can stand a trip to the city for 50 bucks plus mileage. But the lack of logic behind it all is just sickening. A waste of tax money & my time.

I've served locally in the past & never really minded much, it can be interesting. But now? Hell, I gotta piss every 2 hours or less, I don't give a damn where I'm at. Leave me TF alone.

Maybe you'll get on a federal grand jury. Subpoena power, baby!

Maybe they are looking to set up for a mistrial or hung jury.

Are you hung?

Don't answer that!

Served twice. One time I felt like I actually made a difference and the system operated like it was designated. The other time was a fugking joke.
I learned one take away, get picked up by the cops don’t say a fugking word except, I want to see my attorney.

That would be a hung juror, not jury.

Pretty limited selection in your region.

That didn't sound quite right coming right after my post.....

Well it was either him or Bristoe...so..

I didn't say that Bris, he did.


But seriously, what kind of genius affirmative action hire would select,,,,,,,,, me.?

I would do jury nullification to ANY federal case since our judicial system has turned into a shìt show.

At 41 years old I've been called to district Court jury duty 3 times, federal grand jury duty once, been put on 3 jurys and never heard a case before a plea deal. Its all a waste of time.

Been called a few times. I always get cut the moment they find out I'm an engineer. It seems the defense doesn't want someone with logic and reason empaneled.

The questionaires come by regular mail. If the dog or shredder eats it and it never gets returned, you aren't selected.
Those willing to serve can if they choose to.

Can't send something in the mail and say a response is mandatory. The person could be in Florida for 3 months

OK, OK. I guess from now on I'll just have to be referred to as a hung juror.

I'm really not fit for it, hearing mostly.. Lined out that & other reasons in the questionnaire. But I guess they have to decide for themselves.

I've only been called once in my life (now 75) and that one never made it to the selection process. My hearing is crap and I've never heard of a trial with closed captioning. They really don't want me.

Really? What if it was a case against a cartel boss for trafficking children?

I got called a few years back. Jury pool was ordered by numbers drawn by lottery. Fortunately, I had a high number. It was a messy business dissolution issue.

They asked if anyone had ever been sued and I raised my hand. They called on me and asked how I felt about lawyers. I said I hated them. They said mine or the opposition's? I said both and told them why. Hey, they asked.

I was gone by noon.

Or, you could look at it from the standpoint that it is one of the few scenarios that a deplorable can even minutely, microscopically exert some common sense in a broken system.

Thread is old and I have only read the OP.

I pray you did your duty.

It is imperative of us to sit on juries...

If you can't figure that reasoning out as an adult...

Hey that's pretty cool
