Not a good idea to miss jury duty, brah. The courts typically frown on that.
It's also your patriotic duty as a 'Merican.

Just go to the jury selection and tell them you think the death penalty should be instituted for people who don't pick up their dogs' shit.

yeah, you can get a warrant for not showing up. I also agree with Johnny. Only shitty thing is you could sit there for hours, depending how much time they take to interview you, you might have to come back for another day. I've been called for jury duty 3 times and got picked twice. One was about real estate fraud and the other was about a fucking 0-2 oz marijuana charge. IKR! the fucking state wouldnt budge. So the kid took it to court. apparently this white kid was driving in a bad neigborhood with a known drug dealer, so the police pulled him over. it smelled of marijuana in the car but the police couldnt find anything. the only edvidence the cops had was a fucking quarter size blunt they had found 100 yards down the road from where they were pulled over, but that could have been anybodys blunt. in the end we the jury found him not guilty. The judge even tore the prosecutor a new asshole for wasting tax payers money. From what I remember, cause this was my first jury duty back in 1993, the city bought half of this farmers land so they can build a highway on it. I believe they paid him like 500k. A year later when it came time to appraise the rest of his land, he ended up owing the city like a million dollars in taxes. Turned out the city owed him like 1.5 million cause wen they first bought the land, the surrounding land around his was worth in the millions, so the appraiser was to average it out and thats how they would of came up with the amount on buying his land. Well apparently the appraiser was the scapegoat and the city blamed him for screwing up. and the city ended up owing him a million dollars and the taxes were no where near a million either. LOL In the long run, jury duty could be fun and interesting. Just depends on the case

I was in a jury pool for Federal Court where I had to call to see if I had to report for 2 weeks. I forgot to call and went to work. I got a phone call "requesting" my presence and if I had a problem getting to court they will have the U.S. Marshalls escort me. I told them I will be there in 30 minutes.
The couple of times I went in, we were dismissed after a half day of just sitting around. Now I just send them a letter stating my view of the current situation of our legal system, and how placing me on a jury makes it very likely a mistrial will occur. I have never gotten a letter saying to come in anyways.

I don't know and frankly I don't care.
I tried to ditch seeing the movie "Jury Duty" when it came out. Damned if I was going to pay to see Pauly Shore. Fuck no, thank you kindly.

I was called for jury duty for the United States District Court in Brooklyn in 1989. I spent the whole day reading the Wall Street Journal then the Daily News and I started reading the New York Times. After an hour and a half lunch, they called about fifty of us at 2:30 PM into the court room. About eighteen got called. Six alternates. Some disqualified themselves with the consent of the US prosecutor, the judge and the defense attorneys. It was a Drug Enforcement Agency case against some Triads, aka Chinese gang members. One Triad shot and killed an undercover DEA agent. Anyway, the rest of us went back into the jury pool. When we got back to the jury selection area, they told us to call the number given to us each day for two weeks. If our jury number wasn't selected during that time then we were to be excused. And having this call for jury duty got me out of serving in the Nassau County jury duty service that occured three years later in 1992. You get excused for seven years. So rather than fighting it, and having a bench warrant served. It's just easier to serve. Unless you have a medical condition that is.

Never mind. This thread is of no consequence to you, cock guzzler. Besides, you're probably not competent to serve either way.

My father received one and he served it (I believe a week or so). No big deal as I recall.

First time called. Sat all day and never got called in. Second time I brought The Daily Racing Form with me to read and made $300 that night on the horses. 3rd time called I got into the box. It was a dog bite case. Judge asks if anyone thinks that they should not be on this case. I raise my hand ready to tell the judge that I am afraid of dogs just to get out. Judge never asks for my reason and I am home at the end of the day. Made another $160 on the horses.
Yes I did. I didnt go because I was busy. Then a couple weeks after I was supposed to show up, I was served a subpoena and had to show up in court. Since I had no real reason for not going I was fined. It was so not worth it. I was just called to serve for federal court.
