I have never been called to jury duty, despite having been a registered voter for quite some time now. B|

Me either... I can always get waived if called... just show proof that I'm deaf. :ph34r:

I've been on-call 3 x prior to this and never had to go in. Today I sit and wait in the court house to see if my name is called..... WOOOHOOOO! HA even got heavily screened on my way in too. Mr. officer thought he saw a knife in my purse.

I've gotten as far as being called to the courthouse one day, but I wasn't chosen. [:/] I've always wanted to be on a jury. I've been a registered voter for 37 years.

I was called for jury duty once. I even got on a civil case. Some guy broke his ankle on a city bus and was sueing for $1.5 million. Hard to say what happened because I couldn't tell which one of his three stories was true, the one at his deposision, the one he told on examination, or the one he told on cross-examination. Needless to say he didn't get a penny (but he did get a promotion at work because of his injury so it wasn't a complete loss for him).

Have fun!

I don't think it's just about being a registered voter anymore. You just be lucky.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

suddenly the phrase "jury of your peers" scares the fuck outta me...
were I ever to need a truly impartial jury, I'm thinking it's going to be full of losers who couldn't find a way out of their public service duty.
just another in the myriad of reasons our legal system is so fucked.
:S

I would elect for a trial by judge I think...less emotion, more letter of the law.;)

I sat on a federal case last year in Chicago for 4 months yes 4 dam months. I also live 60 miles west of Chicago so I got to hop the 6:05 train to get in at 7:30 coffee then to jury duty. Get home at 7:00 at night and do it all over again. GUILTY the doctor got 12 years and an 18 million dollar fine.

He tried to sell a sterilizer for surgical equipment with no FDA approval. 8 people went blind.

Guess I'm a huge loser then. I've been called three times, served three times.

And I'm damn glad I was called for the last one, because the decision may well have gone another way, and in my heart, I know the right verdict was reached.

I sat as a juror for a couple of weeks on a trial about corporate espionage and abduction. it sounds way more interesting that it really was. But I'm glad i was there, the interesting part was the 3 day deliberation, finding out how people interpret what they see and hear. on occassion we would have as many as 5 versions of the same evidence:)

Yes very interesting. When I sat on Jury, one of my fellow members logic was: "He has to be guilty otherwise the police would not have wasted there time bringing the case to court" :S

When i did my jury service, 2 days before I was due to start I broke both my wrists while racing motorbikes.

I turned up each day in court with both arms in casts and cos I didn't want to wear a double sling I had to sit there with my arms sticking up in the air.

Every new case had a new judge and every one of them singled me out for amusing jibes, ranging from:

"Yes you can put your hand down now that you have sworn in"

to

"Shouldn't you be in the dock and not in the jury box?"

Piss taking judges.
