I got called in a few weeks ago for a jury for a child molestation case. I actually wouldn't have minded serving but I didn't get selected. It was probably because of my "discussion" with the prosecutor. :)

With all the taxes you donate to the government, you should be proud to take part in one of the greatest things an American can do...send some piece of shit to prison for the rest of his life.

Lmao. Just tell the judge that and you're good!

I got summoned, spent the morning being bored in their waiting room and got to go home in early afternoon. Done.

I decided to embrace itsince i had to do it. It would be a new experience. But this is beyond boring. They said a judge will take all 99 of us so i may see some excitement. Also, maby people here are disgusting human beings but there a some chicks here i wouldn't mind taking into the men's room...

Did you poison your wife to punish her for sticking you with jury duty?

Jury nullification isn't a law; it is mob rule.


Not always, sometimes it is needed.

Just prior to the Civil War northern juries sometimes refused to convict for violations of the Fugitive Slave Act because jurors felt the laws to be unjust. In 1851, 24 people were indicted for helping a fugitive escape from a jail in Syracuse, New York. The first four trials of the group resulted in three acquittals and one conviction, and the government dropped the remaining charges. Likewise, after a crowd broke into a Boston courtroom and rescued Anthony Burns, a slave, the grand jury indicted three of those involved, but after an acquittal and several hung juries, the government dropped the charges
