Tell them you could never find the defendant guilty because you did it! Sure fire way to get out of it all. |

u can apply to be exempt if youre "a person whose conscience or religious vows preclude them from serving on a jury" so im thinking of saying somethink like "i have a moral opposition to the canadian system of justice" which is true but also im a non confrontational baby child

from what ive read googling around, the system here is that on the day of jury selection they dont get to ask you any questions they just get to profile you based on your appearance & occupation

beer pal posted:u can apply to be exempt if youre "a person whose conscience or religious vows preclude them from serving on a jury" so im thinking of saying somethink like "i have a moral opposition to the canadian system of justice" which is true but also im a non confrontational baby child I went through the whole process a few weeks back. Even got selected to a jury. But then they called a mistrial because one of the defendants got suspected covid in jail so they had to reschedule the trial while everyone got tested and isolated. Summons is just go to wherever they're doing the selection, wait around, read a book and post on byob with the hundreds of other people while you wait to see if your number gets pulled from the hat. It probably won't. Mine was, first or second draw after lunch. So then you go in front of the judge, lawyers, and defendants, the judge asks you if you can be impartial, prosecution and defence lawyers get to object or not to you. If nobody objects, you're on a jury. They won't tell you why they objected if they do. If any of them object, you're not on and can't be selected again for I think it's 3 years (maybe 2). So don't sweat it. Also don't expect any sympathy towards any sob stories you try to concoct like I can't because have to feed my cat or whatever. If you say you can't because of financial hardship, you may have to explain in detail to the judge exactly what kind of financial hardship you're going to experience, and if she/he doesn't buy it or figures you can cope, tough beans. But they're pretty clear on the day what can and can't exempt you, and ultimately it's up to the judge to deem the exemption valid. All in all, don't worry too much, it's not so bad. |

i had jury duty a couple years ago. other than having to get up rear end-early to get on 2 buses to get to the courthouse in time but once we got there the judge was like "ok there's one case on the docket and they're probably gonna plea out, so you're probably going home before lunch" and sure enough that is what happened. i just listened to podcasts and read for a couple hours. I got the day off work so they didn't pay me which is kind of bullshit

My work has to pay me if I get selected but, like, it's a thing and I probably still won't get paid entirely. They'll figure out a way of making my head hurt. FORUMS POSTER ALNILAM have you been to the Gorge yet??? I haven't gotten to talk to you since you moved and my eye blew up.

a big fun surprise has been the volcanic nature of a lot of the places! I sort of knew that the line of big mountains on the east side of the cascades were old volcanoes, but I had no idea there would be so many cool lava fields, lakes/falls created by lava dams, cool lava rock formations like Cape Perpetua and Smith Rock, etc. A lot of the relevant volcanic activity is very recent too, like 2-3k years ago! That's like, when human beings were here!!

Your employer is supposed to pay you in my state if you get called (the court pays you $15/day, lol) but I’m self employed so lol. I usually I write on the little questionnaire that I am self employed and being unable to respond to clients/get work done by agreed deadlines etc. would irreparably damage my professional reputation and cause substantial financial harm and they never actually summon me for real and I hope this continues to work.

AND THE FOSSILS. We had so much fun fossil hunting; we were able to locate, geotag and photograph tons of Northgrippian Holocene stuff down lower in the Gorge. Highly recommended.

yeah i really wanna get into rock and fossil hunting, esp since i struck out in regular hunting this year oh but also we went tree hunting - for 5bux you can get a permit to hike into the national forest and cut down your own xmas tree so we went and found a nice small grand fir and it's so lovely, very natural looking, not as thick'n'bushy as farm-grown ones but instead reminds me more of being in an actual forest

AND ANOTHER THING i've done plenty of backpacking in the sierras and cascades, but always in the summer. this is my first time living near these kind of mountains and seeing them in the winter. Seeing how the snow maps precisely to elevation is so cool! Like you look at the mountains and there's just a straight horizontal line across the entire range where it's white above the line and green/grey below it. also driving up over a pass and experiencing the transition from dry to patchy snow to feet of snow on the roadside until you get to the pass where it just seems to be permanently snowing no matter when you go. so cool. even the weather forecasts are like "snow line about 3500 feet"

they also said that if around the time of the selection you have symptoms of covid or have been around someone with symptoms or etc. you can call and they'll let you off. so i could probably just call and say koff koff im not coming

I'm pretty sure I posted about this here before, but this is black garlic manchego and it is pretty much the best cheese ever. There are many great cheeses and sometimes I'm in the mood for other cheeses but this one is tops and if I could only eat one cheese for the rest of my life I would choose this one.

I got two this year by the skin of my teeth; one for mom and dad and one for our house. No elk though. We at least have eggybois at home so everything can be supplemented with eggs.
