Jury Duty

[barfo]

That would suck.

One more thing - there is a LOT of downtime during the 30 days. You go home early lots of days, you come in late, or sometimes not at all, and you sit around waiting for something to happen. My post count on S2 was pretty high during that month.

Really? They make it sound like we'll be really busy. Expect to hear over 100 cases.

Whew, got out of it. Now I need to see if @JFizzleRaider or @Natebishop3 will take me out to lunch once I'm dismissed.

You probably heard wrong. What they really said was expect to DRINK over a 100 cases in your down time.

Who says jury duty can't be fun?

You tried the leg hump, right?

Told him I have plans for the week of the 4th July.

Told him I have plans for the week of the 4th July and then handed him a jar of peanut butter and gave him a seductive wink.

Yeah, we probably did 100 cases, but only a few of them take a long time. Sometimes they take 10 or 15 minutes if only a cop testifies. If the perp or victim talks, then it takes much longer, because there's a lot of sobbing/deflecting/random irrelevant spewage.

I served in January. I found the experience to be interesting and satisfying. The justice system actually works. I learned a lot about procedural aspects and evidence factoring into the decision. The Attorneys were secondary compared to the actual content of the case. I was fortunate to have intelligent people to serve with me. At my place of employment, Communism is the most apt description of the way they treat us. We are union employees as well.

Juries are pretty smart. They try to kick the dumb people off.

I was actually impressed with the 12 selected in my time warp day in court. Prospective jurors who talked to much and wandered with their answers were sent home...they actually did a good job picking a jury that didn't seem to have emotional baggage...if the shoe fits...I want the system to work for me

I deal with tax law constantly with my job. Have not found one defense attorney that ever wanted me as a juror. As soon as i tell them that, i can tell im outta there.

I did jury duty in December....I sat in a room for two days and was never called for a trial

I was summoned as a "special panel" juror in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Clackamas County. My term of service was for one case and the trial was expected to last 3 weeks.

However, the case concluded on Wednesday afternoon, November 16th, when the defendant reached a plea bargain with the District Attorney's office.

Case: State of Oregon vs. Daniel Gillispie

Plea deal expected in Milwaukie homicide

Woohoo! I don't have to serve jury duty.
