you’re right on Killa Kyle, but Arbery’s killers (probably) arent getting away with that poo poo, even in demon cracker nation. Zimmerman was at least lucky enough not to film himself hunting down and killing a black kid

The sports episode with Liz and Stavros was excellent, listening to Liz just do solid Jock Talk for an hour was a blast.

RE the new episode: What are y’all’s methods for getting out of jury duty? The one time I had to go down to city hall I had this elaborate idea for what to do or say but the 2nd or 3rd question is “do you trust the police?” and I was like “no gently caress the police” and they were like “would you be more likely to believe a cop and think they were telling the truth?” and I said “lmao” and they let me go home.

the easiest way to get out of jury duty is just be excited to perform your civic duty, loudly articulating the fact that it is perfectly within the scope of one's duties to vote to acquit the defendant no matter how ironclad the evidence of the case

I got paid $35 to spend 7 hours at the court and not get selected. I also got free chips, and coffee.

The case sounded pretty dumb anyways.

I really really hope they bag the guys that lynched Arbery. It's the only time I've been angry enough to email someone - the ex prosecutor or whoever that told the police that they acted in self defense based on the evidence and advised them not to arrest. Then the video dropped and I don't know if I've ever been more angry in my life and I had to track down his email and tear him a new one. Doubt he read it but that poo poo was mind-meltingly infuriating.

i was on jury duty in college with 9/12 jurors made up of college students who deferred it to winter break. case was a DUI where the driver was going 125 in a 55 and got pulled over, refused a breathalyzer and blood test (i guess this automatically forfeits your license for a year?), and then the cop said he smelled like alcohol so charged with DUI. we the jury didn't feel like we could determine beyond a reasonable doubt that the cop could smell +/- 0.8 BAC so we had to acquit. rode down the elevator with the prosecutor after the trial and he was like i had nothing to work with this should never have come to trial lol owned. trial was only a day i think so wasn't too big a deal

It's getting harder to present yourself as an undesirable juror, at least where I live. My dad flat out said he believed in juror nullification and he still got seated on a jury. And one of my friends went on a long winded rant about drug legalization and police corruption and they sent him back to the jury pool for three days before they dismissed him.

i was excited about jury duty because i was hoping for a cool crime. instead, i got a case where one woman rear-ended another woman and was suing her because insurance wouldn't pay for her chiropractor. loving boring.

the lawyers asked a bunch of questions (who are you, where you work, etc) and then asked if you had any biases that would affect your judgement. there were like 60 potential jurors and i was the only one who said yes. i just said i don't think chiropractors are real doctors and it's not real medicine. didn't even have to lie.

didn't get selected but my girlfriend got really mad at me because she went to the chiropractor every other week. we got in a huge argument when i said 'if it works so great why do you keep having to go back?" lol

I did jury duty few years ago on some boring pointless civil case. I still enjoy the time and experience. It was fun to see how it all works.

Also, I just got a stand by summons last month but didn't have to go in at all last Friday.

I used to get community acupuncture done but that’s literally just because I like the sensation of being stabbed. In college I would donate blood every month like clockwork. I don’t think it gives me magic powers or has any health benefits besides being extremely relaxing but that’s worth $40 every couple weeks.

For most jury duty you can just walk out and they can't actually say anything since the gold fringe around the United States flag which is in pretty much every court, designates them as Admiralty courts and those cannot hear other kinds of cases, or signal that the court is operating under maritime law which has a different jury selection that precludes most people(most people in this thread prolly)

Because ships are the queens of the sea and monarchy, by seniority preference, have precedence over modern courts. This is very obvious if you think about it.

Yeah I didn't go quite that far in case they somehow tracked it back to me but I wanted to. I almost messaged his son because I thought it was him at first because I couldn't find the email but eventually got it.

I was selected to be on jury duty and would have to log in every night to see if I had to come in that day but then every docket was delayed indefinitely due to covid so that’s my pro tip for getting out of jury duty.
