Hopefully I won't get selected.

I've been here an hour (they've called the roll and given all 97 of us a number) and they've already called a 15 minute break.

If a diverse jury is the goal, I'm a shoe in at this point. This much is certain.

The only time I did jury duty I got selected for a medical malpractice suit that lasted a month largely because it was the mayor's brother involved.

Absolutely miserable.

in a 3 yr period, way back when..

I was summoned to

Civil once
District twice
Federal once

Got on a jury for District, then plea bargain after 1 witness.
Got on Grand Jury for District, that served one full week in Jan, another in Feb and another in March.

Sat for 4 days on Fed, then dismissed.
Sat for 3 days on Civil, then dismissed.

I was summoned again last yr, but pretty much don't have to do it anymore, as I'm self employeed and can't.

I was called for it a week after I turned 18. It was for some guy facing charges on illegal traps. They pretty much turned away all male jurors that were hunters.

Still wasted a day sitting in a court room though.

Never been called since.

So... you didn't want to do jury duty but you still got picked? Do you know just how easy it is to get out of jury duty?

Old joke, but relevant...I'd never want my fate decided by 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty.
