....I've been selected for jury duty on Sept 15th ??.... ...they finally got me..

[b125killer]

Luck you, I haven't had that privileged yet.

[ilroost]

Never had to do jury duty, thank god

I'll see to it that you all get a shot at it, now that I'm an 'insider',,,he he he

[b125killer]

That would be mighty nice of you Jon. I would love to spend my day downtown with a room full of strangers. I would probably get some stupid shop lifting case. At least I'll get that big jury duty pay! Ha ha

[LizStreithorst]

I was so grateful that I dodged the bullet last time they thought they might want me.  I'd have had to close my business for the duration.  At least you're retired, Mug.  You just have to suffer through a big snore.

[Mugwump]

Hey, those are big bucks !!!..$12.50 1st day, $25.00 each additional day....+56.5 cents a mile each way.....Boomba!!!..I can go to White Castle too...

[LizStreithorst]

OMG, whatever would I have done?  I was foolish enough to think that they'd at least pay minimum wage which doesn't come close to making ends meet.  I'd have ended up in debtor's prison had they wanted me.

I hope you only have a one day'er, Jon.

Rejection generally isn't pleasant.....unless it's from jury duty.  I got rejected and was happy to walk out.  Hopefully you will be that lucky also.

[Mugwump]

If it's a drug trial, I'm going in stoned...

[LizStreithorst]

Go in reeking of pot and dispose of all the evidence.  You'll get out for sure.

I have done a murder trial (lasted 3 weeks) in Queens, N.Y.  and in Kane County they have a Coroners jury where you determine the cause of death (2 days). In New York I got paid in full by my boss but I had to give them the 12.50 check the court gave me. lol

Jury duty sucks. Been called in 3 times in the last 5 year. I think they do that to just to piss me off. First time was a hit and run 2nd time man beats his wife. 3rd time was a rape and they sent me home because I am not a very open minded guy when it comes to rape. When they asked me what I thought about rape. I told them he should be shot. They said have a nice day.

I feel the same way.   We had a friend, when asked if he had a daughter and how did he feel about rape, said, "Yes, and I'd hunt the bastard down and shoot him.".......They didn't keep him around either!

I was rejected when I was called up for a criminal sexual assault. Apparently a more "open minded" jury found him guilty anyway.
