yo funny i was gonna make a thread about this, i gotta go january 3rd

can i plead insanity to get off?

or can i just tell them i dont really give a fuck about anyones likelyhood and i shouldnt be on a jury for that persons sake?

i really, really..do not want to go in any court unless i have to

thats just how i feel. that shit aint cool, forcing people to be on jury.

i might not show...who the fuck cares if they can fine me

On the form you have there, look at the final box on the back that lets you write in your own comment.

Put "No transportation and public bus not available."

Also it helps to throw in things like, "Stay at home dad, have to watch the kids" or "I have pneumonia". that last one always gets 'em for me. Theyve never called me back or asked for a second response out of the 3 times ive been ordered to go.

When you get ordered to come in like that, all you're doing is showing up for a quick interview to see if youre a decent enough person to go through to the next stage and possibly become a juror.

a lot of people ive known just go in and say theyre discriminating and that they hate most races of people, including most members of their own. I GUARANTEE youre not getting through if you do that.

I was just too lazy to ever even get to that step.. id rather not bother, my opinion would be skewed and all drug users would go free.

I had to go this year. FUCKIN' HATED THE PROCESS. First you get in a line of about 200 fucking people to check in. We all file into the courthouse. They start eliminating people, felons, retards, people who can't speak English etc. They play videos about the court process and how it's your obligation as a citezen blah blah. You get introduced to the fucking DA and Public offender or lawyer or whatever the setup. Then they call up like 10 people, ask them questions, maybe one is asked to stay the rest may leave. They call up the next set to the stand, same shit, people make up stories to get off and it just goes on and on for ever. It feels like you're getting picked for a raffle but the prize is to come back again for more bullshit. Thank goodness I wasn't picked.

bieng a student isnt a exscuse..they say that on the back

it says you can be exscused from school with a note in cases of jury duty
did they change it recently?

when i was in college i got letters about jury duty twice, and both times i checked the student box; saying that i couldn't do it because i was a student.. and they didn't bother me about it..

I just write that I'm a convicted felon, since in most all states Felons are not eligible for jury duty. Which is true, I am a felon, but they would never spend the time and resources to do a background check for jury duty. I suggest people do the same.

My father usually goes there and when they're going through the selection process he makes statements like "I hate the police", "I hate god", "I hate the human race", etc. No lawyer would ever pick him.

hella weakk...i have to report there tomorrow
HERE'S SOME GREAT ADVICE FOR EVERYONE...

IF YOU GET THAT SHIT IN THE MAIL, DO NOT DO ANYTHING BUT THROW THAT FUCKING SHIT AWAY.

IF YOU CALL, THEY KNOW YOU GOT IT, AND YOU CAN ONLY GET OUT OF IT ONCE OR TWICE BEFORE THEY MAKE YOU GO...UNLESS YOU MOVED AWAY BUT STILL HAVE YOUR LICENSE IN THAT COUNTY (THEN YOU CAN GET A NEW LICENSE AND IT'S ALL GOOD.).

SO, IF YOU EVER GET A JURY DUTY THING IN THE MAIL...THROW THAT FUCKING THING AWAY. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE STATE CAN TRACK IF YOU GOT IT, UNLESS THEY MAKE YOU SIGN FOR IT WHEN THE MAILPERSON DROPS IT OFF.

SO, WHAT DO WE DO WHEN WE GET JURY DUTY MAIL?

THROW THAT SHIT THE FUCK AWAY. DONT' CALL THE STATE. JUST ACT LIKE YOU NEVER FUCKING GOT IT.

I dealt with it the hard way. Got called into Seattle when I lived 2 hours away--I was a student then too, they didn't give a FUCK after I didn't go the first time with the "i'm a student excuse." Being a student, doesn't mean you get out of your duties as a citizen!...dude said I had to prove I lived 2 hours away, so I got a new license with my then current address, and photocopied it and sent it in....BUT...I got the above advice from my step dad, who deals with that shit at his work all the time....he's gotta write letter saying why his people can't go to court.

THROW THAT SHIT AWAY NEXT TIME!
