Uh, do you know what jury nullifcation is? Because a not guilty verdict would suffice in your example.

My point was that if you know about Jury Nullification you're more informed than most people who are likely to be on a jury and are less likely to fall for prosecutorial bullshit.

Is that big guy in the front the same one from Charlottesville? He was in a ton of photos, but I'm having a hard time finding any now for some reason.

I also have jury duty coming up. Would saying I have absolutely no faith in the Baltimore police or justice system get me disqualified, do you think?

Last time I got summoned I had to sit in a stuffy room watching horrible romantic comedies for seven hours and never even got called up, it was the worst.

You were very likely tapped for a panel that ended up settling out of court. This happened to me and the judge had the decency to come and tell us this instead of us just being dismissed at 6:00pm without an explanation.

It's more or less the truth, but honestly I'm too much of a coward to try. I don't mind serving, if it comes to that, but it'll probably be another day spent sitting on a hard plastic chair watching J Lo movies. At least I'll get 15 bucks, I guess

Out of all of the jury summons I've received, I only had to show up at court one time. It was federal & for this trial -> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Portland_car_bomb_plot

I was the final juror not selected and I openly said I wasn't sure I could be impartial because I didn't trust that the FBI wasn't out there entrapping the low hanging fruit. In the end I got paid $35ish a day from the feds for 2 and half days of hanging out in the courthouse. And instead of going back to work for the afternoon on the third day I went day drinking.

He's pretty bad. After Charlottesville alot of the more prominent bios circulated and as I recall, this fucker is a life-long Nazi fucker with militant leanings and criminal histories that would make your skin crawl.

"I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children," Trump said.


this man's brain is smooth and long and does not resemble a pile of yogurt at all.

"How does the press treat you? I'll bet you get treated better by the press than anybody in the world," he added. "These are beautiful, wonderful children. You’re gonna grow up to be like your parents. Don't answer."

"That can only get me in trouble, that question," he added.

goddamn i am so loving embarrassed by this man

As the visit winded down, Trump joked that the children could stay but that their journalist parents should get out.

"They can stay," he said about the kids. "The parents, maybe not so much."

I've been selected for jury duty 3 times. All 3 times I never even set foot in the courthouse as the case they were going to seat plead out.

Most of my summons were on the county level where you call in the night before to see if your number was selected.

I'm only going to contribute to the jury duty detail because the last time I was called in the case was about a domestic dispute involving a plate of spaghetti. That was all they told us. I wasn't chosen for the jury, and it haunts me to not know what happened.

Jury Nullification. That's where a bunch of racists don't get themselves removed from jury selection and then, regardless of the evidence, they decide to put the black person in jail or let the white supremacists go free, right?

The secret to getting out of jury duty is to be both well informed and opinionated as all hell.

My one time getting called was just after my father had sliced his toe with a lawnmower, so I was fully prepared to argue to the panel I needed to be at home to help take care of him while he recovered. From the questions I got on the questionnaire, the case they were preparing for seemed to involve unions and on-site accident compensation, and it just so happened I was related to someone who was in just that situation a few years prior, and I honestly answered that was the case.

After we came back from break, I was removed on the first round of dismissals.

(also, I'm pretty sure either becoming a billionaire or serving at least at state-level of political office permanently removes you from the jury rolls)
