Jury Duty
I just finished serving on a jury on a case that took a week to complete. I have to say that while it throws a definite curve at the schedule, it was an honor to serve and be a part of a really thoughtful group of people who took our job very seriously.

What experiences have you all had on a jury?

It was probably when I began questioning her and she said, "Wow, you're going to make me work for my pay today aren't you..." And I replied, "If it's more than $20.00, the tax payers are getting screwed."

Juror 21. Dismissed.

I read that the guy got convicted anyway. He showed up at court with manicured, 5 inch long sharpened finger nails. I couldn't believe it.

I think it went more like this: "So, what do you think you know? Why do you think you know that? Do you feel that you're doing a better job than I could do? How do you feel about anal? Btw, if you give me head, I have no underlying rule that states that it is necessary for you to swallow my sea men."

I have this vision of Freddy Krueger hands on Flock of Seagulls bodies.

Funny thing is that I've never been called or even mentioned and I've got friends who've been requested multiple times and are half my age.

What's hard to picture?

I've received about four notices since moving to Colorado, and only had to go to the courts once. Pretty much the same for the wife.

Your statement of it being only 3 years ago blew up my preconceived notion of flock of seagulls bodies with Freddy Kruegers hands. The image of the perpetrator is what is hard to picture.

I always tell them I contributed to the district attorneys election campaign. Funny, I have never been chosen.

Yeah, if you're the "too busy for jury duty" type, and I think it should be OK to say that by the way, just go with the "he has to be guilty, or they wouldn't have arrested him" route. Either that or let them know how many cops and lawyers sit at your Thanks Giving table.

And if none of that looks like it'll work, just make sure you play the part of a person who has been mugged a few times ----- they'll make sure you're not selected.

Then again, if you're looking to get out of work, it's an awesome way to do that! If you're a govvie, all you usually have to do is turn-in the money and you get all your back-pay. So it's great if you're looking for a little time off...

Absolutely true.

In my case, possession wasn't in question. It was whether there was an intent to sell.

First, the defense tried to paint their guy as a heavy user, that having such a large amount of meth (32.5 grams and a scale and security cameras) was normal for him. But when the prosecutor pointed out that the guy still had his teeth, skin intact, and was a fairly athletic-looking guy, the defense pivoted and tried to say that the big bag (27 grams) was planted and he just had 6. In my book, that was it. Obviously he was lying and I thought it was pretty straight forward. But there were people who thought he was sharing with his friends, etc.

After the trial, the prosecutor told us more about how they got a warrant and the holdouts realized how clear it really was.
