Jury duty! Again!
« on: September 28, 2010, 03:52:26 PM »
I just got called again. Twice in a year. This time its local, not federal. Oddly enough, the feds let me off by sending a note expaining (truthfully) that my meds made me drowzy and play hell with the short term memory. (I think I might have mentioned this on Walter's reposting thread, but I don't remember. ;D). Anyway, no dice with the locals so off I go. I wonder if I can claim to have been sexually abused by a judge as child and so the mere sight of a black robe provokes a homicidal rage? ;D I guess that would be a bad idea. With any luck they'll put me on a drug or prostitution or self defense case. That way I won't have to waste time in deliberations. ;)

Don't forget to wear your "Body Piercing by Glock" t-shirt.   ;D

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Tell them you got hemroids and can't sit for long periods.  Or maybe you don't trust lawyers.

Remember FQ, your not a prejudice person, you can't stand them all, as they are intellectually inferior, and frankly Darwin should continue to weed out the "riff-raff" of society, and public hangings would be great to comeback to town square.

Also let them know you have a shooting match at 3:00, and need to move this along...

OR THE ULTIMATE,

You have a Tea Party Rally to attend.... You'll be dismissed quick.

ROFL, but its 50/50 on the tea party thing. The prosecution would love me, particularly if the trial involves another one of our county commisioners (I think we have two who haven't been indicted ::)). The reverse stategy would be a peace sign tye dyed shirt and flip flops, but then the defense would love me. I think I'll be serving unless I just show up drunk, which could probably get expensive in a hurry. ;)

Here in Dallas I got an easy out because of the way the rules are written, I got into trouble when i was 19, did my duty and my case was expunged, I have no record at all, but the way it is written, is have you ever been convincted of a crime for which you could receive 1 yr or more, no matter what the actual sentence was, so I just go to the clerk and say yes, and they say have a nice day. Your excused. ;D Now I don't even have to go, just fill out the card and send it back in. ;D

Suck it up and get it done.  As far as I'm concerned, if you're not willing to take part in the process, you've got nothing to bitch about.  The system blows but it's our system and unless you play, it won't get better.

Voting is the same way.  Voice your opinion at the polls or shut the f..k up about it!

Take a length of rope and practice tying a Hangman's Knot during jury selection.

When done with the knot, snap it tight a few times, put on a big grin, untie it and start over.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
