The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

My wife currently works for the Supreme Court in the state where she live. That usually works well for getting punted from a jury pool. When she was in grad school, working on a degree in religion and social ethics also sufficed.

I've only been called once for jury duty, for a big murder trial. But there was a plea deal during selection. The judge called us all in to say thank you for showing and sent us home, and that was that.

We weren't even there long enough to get lunch. Dun dun!

Most boring Law & Order episode ever.

I actually sat a trial once in my 30's. Since then, not. In the last few years I haven't even gone in.

Same. I show up at the courthouse, read a book in the waiting room, and get sent home.

It's weird that they don't want a hitman for the mob on a jury. You'd think my personal expertise would be invaluable!

That's happened to me twice now. The first was right after the judge gave us the big civics speech and outlined what the case was about, in broad terms. The second was about a week before I was supposed to appear for selection.

Totally worthless, I agree.

I wasn't clear. I haven't even left my house; currently at least in the Greater Los Angeles area they've got a situation where you call in the night before to see if they need you for five days, and you're done. And they haven't even called me in.

I am not a perfect man. I do what I can, but I stumble.

Ah, yeah. I'm in SoCal too. I make it through that step and sit in the (surprisingly nice) waiting room for a few hours and that's where I get cut.

I was once stuck on the 101 North for three hours in the bay area.

I went 8 miles.

I then swore to never complain about Chicago traffic again.

You know, until I inevitably get shot in it.
