Jury Duty

[bulldogs4me]

Blah ... spent all day in the court house, I've got Jury Duty the whole day and selections haven't even begun to start ... my jaw almost hit the floor when I found out it was a murder case all I could think was holy crap batman!! Got to send a to sweetpeasmom2008 for sending me a message and worrying about me not being online much made me feel good!!! But will log on when I'm not sitting in the court room!

Good job ... We all hate it but our duty! And sometimes it's very interesting. Not so sure being a murder case... hang in there....

Is it bad that I'd find a murder case more interesting??!!

Nope lol

My mom found her second husband at jury duty, now she tries to find ways out of it every time they call her

How do they pick people for jury duty? I am 49 and never been called my husband who is younger has been called 4 times, over the years.

I get called but always dismissed. My father was a well known police chief in this state and my sister is a criminal defense attorney. Both sides don't want me on their jury.

I have never had jury duty! A murder case would be interesting! Im glad you are ok I got concerned when you weren't posting because that is very unlike you but im glad you are ok!

Ooh that's exciting. I have always been dismissed and now staying at home with the girls I am sure it will be years before I get a chance at a trial. Hubby got on one, insurance fraud. Boring as it seems, he found it very interesting. Your case should be much more!

I'd like to be called in to jury duty---i find these court cases can be very interesting and I really find the whole judicial process to be fascinating! It's been maybe 9years since i've been on a case and there, I made a bunch of friends--we ended up playing volleyball, going out to dinner...no marriage proposal tho! LOL.

I actually like jury duty--got picked for a criminal case once (drug dealer) and for a civil case once (fraud). A murder case would be great!

You've got to give non-judgmental answers to the questions from both sides to get selected. Being opinionated doesn't work!

@KMARINO...it's the only lottery I seem capable of winning! Dang it! I have actually been called to Jury duty 4 times in my life, and served on two juries. Bruce has been called 4 times too. Guess we have the same "luck". :whatsthat?:

Kelly it is either thru DMV records or voting, cant remember which exactly tho.

 

[cali~jenn]

Aside from having to take care of the kids, I wouldn't mind either. BUT I get called, go, sit half a day, then get sent home. either let me not go or gimme something worth going for I say.

[MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION] I have both, or do both. Never been called.

Interesting. Maybe things r diff in Florida. I have been called every year or at minimum 2 years since turning 18 I think.
