Sorry, but my services were not needed. I will be summoned again a later date. I know, I'm disappointed too :(

My brother was on a jury. Sent a guy to the hoosegow for life for murdering his wife and her boyfriend with a newly bought shotgun. He told the gun dealer he had to go take care of a guy causing him some trouble.

Considering how much I hate sharing an elevator with strangers, I think it's just best I always avoid sitting at a defendant's table.

seriously though, would you want me on your jury?

So I'll go in tomorrow morning for this. They said to bring something to read. I'm bringing in my ipod touch which is full of tv shows and a sketchbook. They say to dress appropriately. So I'll probably wear my dead kennedys t shirt. I'll try my hardest just to bring a thrill to the good people of QBN.

It's quite comforting to know the system relies on yawns of 12 awry men.

"My brother/father/uncle/cousin is a police officer and I know from the stories he tells how the criminal justice system really works. I'm excited to be here."
That pretty much keeps you out of the jury pool.

how do you determine whether or not someone is guilty? no counting evidence. More like body language.

I want to be more subversive than that.

So I'll be doing this on Thursday. What can I say (that is believable) that will keep me from being selected for duty?

I'll have to sway the jury towards execution if the accused is a person of color. No matter what the case is. There will be no exceptions.
