Have you ever been summoned to one and did you go? What was the case?
I got one in the mail once, but had a legitimate excuse not having a babysitter so got out of it.

I had to go 3 yrs ago. They only pay 24.00 dollars a day and sometimes you sit there all day. I was on a jury for a pedifile case and I tried like crazy to be normal so I could squash the guy, they never picked me and I never knew why. I think I acted to liberal and gay. But it was interesting. The DWI stuff I just said I hated drunks.

It's been a few years since I've been summoned but I've been expecting one given I recently renewed my license. I did not go so I don't know what the cases were.

I have been summoned a bunch of times and always had to go tot he courthouse but got kicked loose probably because I would show up on my bike in a tank top, leathers and a bandanna.
Last time though I had to go dressed normal and of course I got picked, Then got nominated for Foreman.
Some stupid bitch was sueing Best Buy for her knee replacement costs and loss of conjugal bliss. She walked through what was obviously a display where a washer and dryer had been sold without looking and banged her knee. Story was full of holes and she also admitted that between the knee banging incident and the 14 months before filing the suit she had been dragged off her feet into a ditch by the 2 big ass dogs she was walking, tripped and fell off a curb at the mall and almost got run over and stepped into a gopher hole.
We didn't giver shit, the women on the jury were laughing because she said there was no sex because of her knee injuries, they failed for lack of imagination.
This cost me 2 weeks of $40+/hr for $12/day, bitch didn't get shit

I don't want to judge people. I understand it's my civic duty but I don't want any part of it.

What if you got someone who was distributing marijuana for example, I wouldn't want to judge anyone over that. I wouldn't mind judging a pedophile though.

Those fuckers just need to die or be confined for the rest of their life. They're wired wrong, there is no getting clean & sober for people like that.
