So I've been summoned for jury duty

[cupocity303]

What I wonder about is, if literally everyone is not giving sufficient answers and gets out of jury duty for a trial, and they didn't have anyone who met their standards, what then? Who get to be juror?

Or do they at this point just say 'fuk it' and lower their standards just to get enough people and get it over with?

It's stupid that they can choose at all, the fairest way is to have completely random jurors.

It's a lot like boxing. Bob Arum and Richard Schaefer picking judges.

If you had a wreck while drunk you won't be chosen for jury service because you'll have a record, at least that's how it works over here.

Yea ur actually right my mistake

that's basically it. That's why again the system is like boxing and we get these "WTF?!" decisions all the time! Jury full of idiots!

[ßringer]

do people realize to get out of jury duty you simply don't reply? lol seriously it's the easiest thing in the world to get out of.

That's why our system doesn't work. Only dumb asses go to jury duty!

Wrong.

It really depends on your State laws, but I know that a lot of States are cracking down on failure to appear for jury duty and that the presiding judge has multiple options if you fail to appear depending on your State law.

You can be summoned to appear in court to explain your failure to appear.

You can have a bench warrant issued for your arrest.

You can be fined up to $250.

You can be incarcerated for a few days.

Assuming I decide to go with being dismissed, the question then becomes 'how'?

Just keep uttering under your breath...They should hang the bastard...they should hang him.
