Jury Duty

[Stinky Wizzleteats]

Yep, I got called up.

Thinking that I wouldn't get picked to go in the jury, yep, I got called up.

Thinking that the defence counsel would challenge my being on the jury so I could go home. Nah, the pr*ck didn't say a word.

I'm stuck on jury duty. make the beast with two backs IT! 

Yes, I won't be writing anything about it here as it could be bad joojoo.

Anybody else been called or served on a jury?

Come on! Why pick me? I'm the last person you should pick! 

[Betty]

Yes, I won't be writing anything about it here as it could be bad joojoo.

That would be one way to get out of jury duty.

[Jukie]

i have been called up 3 times o'course before i work for the  . now if i get called up its not for jury duty

[Dockstrada]

One word "TINNITUS" 

You got a good doctor 

[Monstar_100]

Just say you know the defendant... its a conflict of interest... then the rest of the day for a  / or  [moto]

[techno]

I never knew anyone who got called up until recently. Now, lots of people I know have been roped into it.

I'm exempt because I know too much about what happens when they send you out of the room.

Think of it as doing your civil duty in putting some scumbag away, or letting someone innocent go free.

[Dockstrada]

Here is another idea, turn up with one of these and ask the to speak up  

[braando]

I got called up decades ago......was only 25 at the time.......found out it was a rape case...the defence wanted me cos i was the only one around the accused's age....a Mosman lad......who decided to change his plea to guilty on the first day before it even kicked off.....spent the rest of the arvo at the Pub across the road.....      

[monstermick58]

I've done two stints, actually got me out of work for a while, but now, I think I would rather pass.









                                              Mmick

[heatherp]

Yep.  I got called up and picked first and only time about 7 years ago.  One day case of someone having a few too many plants growing in his back yard - all for personal use of course. Rather boring really apart from the drama queen acting of the lawyers (no disrespect to any lawyer friends reading this    )

[Wells]

Hrm, got called up once for what was going to be a four week case.
Ended up being selected head juror (forgot to step backwards).. Anyway, a couple of days in I submitted a question to the judge which caused the trial to be restarted with a new Jury  Everyone was asked to pack their things and head home.

To be honest, at the time I think everyone was excited to be serving their Civic Duty.

[heatherp]

Hate to think what you asked the Judge     

[dragonworld.]

Mighta been a question as to whether black fishnets and suspenders go with his (The Judge) white frilly knickers!? 

About the 3rd time I got called up I got selected on a case involving a Viet guy that played dumb and innocent and was accused of extortion with menaces and standover tactics. Getting protection money from asian businesses. 

We found him guilty of 2 out of the 3 charges. Afterwards we found out his priors!! 

Evil little focker, he had previously shot people, tortured people, beaten people up, you name it. I'm glad that they are changing the law so that priors can be read out in court!! Otherwise scumbags like this bozo would continue to get slaps on the wrist!

I reckon the Barristers should be in the Actors Guild! What performances?? 

[Mr.S2R]

has anyone NOT been picked?  I have never been called up!  Mind you here in sleepy SA nothing exciting every happens....

[suzyj]

I've never been picked either.  I wouldn't mind if I was though, as long as it wasn't one of those six month drawn out affairs.
