How I Got Rejected for Jury Duty!

[kaiservontexas]

As I always refuse to swear to apply the law "as written" thus retaining my right to nullify by jury, I am always dismissed.

i showed up 10 minutes late... BOOT. that was like 5 years ago, no love since.

here's my take on it-
will did the right thing, stating his inability to be impartial. the fact that he's not capable of being impartial is sort of retarded, but he at least was upfront about it, and now MAYBE a kid who is a true victim of civil rights infringement might get justice he wouldn't have gotten with will there.

I was dismissed from Jury Duty once on a Criminal Trial when it was brought out that I was at the time enrolled in a local University talking Criminolgy courses. The defense asked me what classes I was taking and dismissed me when I informed them I was taking Police Investigations, Victimology and Death Investigations.

I got jury duty about fifteen years ago. The case was a criminal trial that another agency had investigated (and I knew nothing about the case). After driving the 35 miles of two-lane road to the county seat, I really would have liked to have been selected. (It would have been a real learning experience for me.)

I think I can be pretty objective and they spent 20-30 minutes questioning me but in the end the defense used one of their peremptory challenges to exclude me.

Only time I got called we were all in this big room, before any selection had started (just having filled out their generic questionnaire ) and the judge came in, thanked us and said some new developments had happened and the trial would not be starting that day and we could all go home.

my mom was chosen a long time ago for a first degree murder case where some guy shot another guy execution style. They had to get police escort everywhere going to lunch etc.
