I’ve never been called for jury duty. It seems like it would be interesting.

I got called to be on the Botham Jean jury, but I really don't like cops and made it known in the 42 page questionnaire.

know my mom and dad were civil clerk and deputy, respectively, for like 40 years?

The one time I was called for jury duty, I was like juror #50 and the lawyers finalized who they wanted before they even talked to me waste of tiem

fool of sound posted:Lol I’ve been called for jury duty roughly annually for the last seven years, been dismissed during jury selection thrice, and served once. It’s obnoxious. Got the letter twice, first time my whole group wasn't asked to come in, second time they finalized the jury and alternates one candidate below me.

I got a letter saying I was chosen for jury duty late last year, and I filled out the form as requested, but then never heard back from them. No idea what's up with that

Last time I had jury duty I didn't check the mail for a while, and found out I was supposed to show up the week before when I was on vacation. Guess they never got around to calling my name because nothing ever came of me no call no showing.

I got called once in 17 eligible years of living in three different midwestern states, and wound up serving. I've since been called 5 times where I live now, and not served once. The one time I did serve it was pretty boring--a car accident, and it wasn't even an issue of deciding who was at fault--everyone agreed the defendant was at fault--but just how much he should have to pay. It did give me some insight into how unqualified ordinary jurors are to make that kind of determination, though.

I'm in California and I genuinely get called once a year. Not sure what California does, but by gum they send out those letters to everybody. Only served once.

Gyges posted:Any rulling that he has to show up will include exceptions for reasonable excuses. Being sick, having a legitimate conflict of trial dates, held up in Satan's waiting room, etc. Yeah, that's why I was saying they'd get called out if they had him in trial 'every day until November' like was suggested was 'reasonable'.

Canadian here: got called for jury duty once in... I think it was 2016. The crime was attempted murder. They put us in a room and called us in a random order for screening; they gave us a television that had a feed into the screening room so we could see people going in and being questioned, but it didn't have audio, so we didn't know what the questions were. If they accepted you as a juror, they gave you a piece of paper and led you into a third room. One guy went in, did the questions, got the paper, then made to leave, which confused the rest of us - but he came back with his jacket in hand and waved to the camera. Gave everybody a good laugh, including the judge. After the twelfth juror was selected, we thought they'd let the rest of us go, but the bailiff came in and said "there's a hiccup" and didn't elaborate. Held us all there for another hour before the judge told us to leave, but to call a number in the morning to see if we all needed to come back for more screening. So, I did - and we didn't need to come back. Overall, boring, confusing, and three days of wasted time, but one of the other potential jurors brought in a whole stack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comic books for anyone interested to read, so that was awesome. I never did learn if the guy was found guilty or not guilty of attempted murder.

The one I got pulled in for ended up being made into a law and order episode though I live in California, attempted rape with a person threatening to infect people with some kind of infectious virus at needle point.

Since we're all talking about how we got out of it, I told the judge I have ADD (which is true) and that I might have to ask for some things to be repeated if I get distracted. They very much didn't want to deal with that and I don't blame them. Also, my paperwork said I'm exempt from being called back for 6 years, which is nice.

Got seated for a civil trial with a high juror number so guessing judge & attorneys were a bit exhausted with selection. Three days of hearings with at least two more weeks to go when we got dismissed because one of the attorneys I think had a medical issue and couldn’t continue so they had to start the whole thing over.

I got to spend a week on a murder trial a few years ago, it was interesting. Luckily the guy was very obviously guilty AF so it wasn't too hard. LPT: Don't cheat on your girlfriend if she is the type who might swing by the police station later to tell them stuff about your murders to get revenge.

I also don’t suggest calling her from a jail phone (recorded) to make thinly-veiled threats while trying to get her to change her story.

It seemed like the instant I turned 18, I got summoned for jury duty almost monthly on the dot. I kept calling in on the day of and saying I couldn't make it because of traffic, and eventually they stopped trying. Never figured out why they wanted me so bad.

Arsenic Lupin posted:I'm in California and I genuinely get called once a year. Not sure what California does, but by gum they send out those letters to everybody. Only served once. What county? I got called every 18 months like clockwork when I lived in Sac county. It was a PITA because I lived in Folsom, like 30 mins from the Sac court house. I moved to Placer county like 8 years ago and haven’t been called once. So I’ll expect my letter next week now that I jinxed it.

I've been called once, and was selected for a simple possession trial... But i was the alternate, so all the fun of listening to the evidence and testimony, and none of the actually making any decisions. But the others came back with the same not guilty that i would have wanted. (2 people in the vehicle, they couldn't prove "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that it was his and not the passenger's.)

CNN has a note that Trump has asked to be allowed to enter sidebars during jury selection. He wants to ask questions directly to possible jurors, doesn't he? I can't see this request being accepted even for a second.

I can't see this request being accepted even for a second. He will not be allowed to address them even if he is allowed to be present for the questioning. And I think the judge said yesterday that he wasn't going to allow it due to worries about intimidation.

Aren't sidebars when the jury is dismissed (or out of earshot) while the lawyers talk to the judge about what is or isn't allowed? I'd presume even so, the judge doesn't want an ignoramus piping in with pointless comments during those.

I'd presume even so, the judge doesn't want an ignoramus piping in with pointless comments during those. In my experience yeah, sidebars are quick chats with the judge out of the earshot of the jury about some matter before the court. There's no way a judge is letting a criminal defendant take aside a single jury member to have a little one on one time out of the hearing of everyone else.

In this case the sidebar is between the juror and the judge, for questioning. Counsel may be present.

I've gotten a summons in the mail 3 separate times and never even had to go to the courthouse because the cases settled prior to me showing up. Apparently that's common around here in Bumfuck, Wisconsin.

Yeah, it’s when you as a prospective juror want to explain something without telling everyone else in the courtroom your business. For example, if you were a victim of a similar crime.

Finding someone in New York that Trump hasn't screwed over in some way is presumably also difficult. Although mostly through the tax fraud from the other trial he just went through as opposed to the also large number of people he directly stiffed or betrayed.
