Jury trial? I dont know if I would trust 12 people who were stupid enough not to figure out how to get out of jury duty

I wanted to do jury duty when I did it. I got paid the same and reimbursed for all my gas/food. It was a good vacation from work for me. LOL

I wanted out in the worst way. Best part was I got called for a case where a motorcyclist was hit by a car, so as a PA and an avid motorcyclist I was rather biased. I even walked in with copies of cycleworld and motorcyclist to pass the time

Gov employee huh?

Last time I was called I walked in talking about jury nullification. Then got lectured by a judge for 20 minutes and threatened with contempt of court.

Yeah, I am federal too.

LOL, I almost never get called for it because I don't vote or register to vote.

I had a oxycontin drug ring case. All the big dogs pleaded quilty and some addict that let his drug dealer send him a ups box full of drugs from his Florida suppliers was the only one who pleaded innocent. We got his case and sent him to the pen.

But only if you can sing The Blues.

Maybe 1 lawyer in 20 is an ambulance chasing fucktard, but they ruin it for all the others. Up here the ratio is more like one in a hundred, but the reputation is still there.

As the Law and Highway Traffic Act moderator, on a local motorcycle forum, I'd love to get jury duty. I never likely would though.

If your job pays for the time off, why not? Beats working. AND you experience something new.
