jury duty


Recommended Posts

so today was my first day of jury duty ever. i was called in with about 20 people to be on a trial about a kid who accidentally shot another kid.

i get picked as one of the 7 who will actually be on the jury along with the one and only joey fatone. he is actually a really cool guy

anyone have any cool/interesting jury duty stories?

People will say some of the most incredible stuff to not get picked! When I was there last, some college-aged guy said that his allergy medicine would impair his ability to make sound decisons. Another lady claimed that she couldn't participate because a relative of hers had recently been arrested (it wasn't even a criminal case). When questioned further, she admitted that her young daughter had been accused of stealing Halloween candy from another student at school...

i just didn't go, they called me once and I told them that I couldn't afford to take the time off work because I had just started a new job and if I took a day off of work I lose over $400 in pay(including benefits) so if they wanted to compensate me for my lost wages, I'd be there.

the lady was nice and just excused me from it.
