So I got Jury duty today. After already using my college excuse last year, I'm stuck with a bunch of equally disgruntled potential jurors waiting for my name to be called.
Tell your stories of civil service! Make fun of me for not weaseling my way out of it! Give me ideas to help pass the time!

Or be a mime?
Federal jury duty sucks major ass if you have to travel a good bit to the nearest federal court house.
Federal grand jury duty = kill yourself.
I had a co-worker get stuck on a Federal grand jury for months and months. She only got excused when she had to go in for surgery. Even then they gave her shit and kept trying to get her to postpone it.

If he can be a doctor why not a juror.

whatever. they were all thinking it too.
"How do you feel about people who commit drug-related crimes in the US?"
"I think anti-drug laws are an invasion of our privacy and unconstitutional"
"Next, please"
Hell, one year they gave me jury duty twice. Luckily, you only have to do jury duty once a year.
I'm so petrified that I'll end up serving on the next O.J. trial or something.
Just got sent home for no reason

we got sent up to the little juror's room and the officer came back ten minutes late to tell us that the case has been settled. after seven years. on the day of the trial.
one of the jurors was a middleaged black guy, and it was his birthday, and his wife was going to take him down to DC for the inauguration.
though i was a witness once

turns out i sat in a room for 5 hours just to be told that the case wasn't going to trial

The case ended in a mistrial on the first day because some important witness couldn't show up.
The assistant DA and public defender were both pretty cute, though.
Also I like how the first recommended advice in google for 'jury duty' is 'jury duty excuses'.
are you eight
The middle one :winky:

lawyers get scared when they hear that.
I host a podcast about movies.
This happened in California fairly recently. Not sure how I feel about that.
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
All the defendants were black, and there were no black jurors, lawyers, judges, or cops in the entire building (that I saw).
The defendant in my case got off on 3/4 charges, the one we convicted him on was mj possession because he left it in his pocket as he walked into the police station. whoops.jpg
Well, the prosecution does, at any rate.
its too bad she looks terrible in everything post SVU
She was pretty cute when she played a lesbian in 30 Rock.
At least I remembered her being cute.
Now Casey Novak on the other hand.
She had some tits you could set your watch to
