I've never been called for jury duty because I turned 18 last year. However, it interests me. Anyone got any tales to tell?
 
Not me, i've only been on the other side in a court room :D :D

j/k
 
The only time I got called, I ended up on a divorce case. Georgia and Texas, the only two states in the union where two people can waste a jury's time on a divorce. :rolleyes:

They argued for 2 days, the wife's lawyer wanted to put a casette taped conversation into evidence, the other shyster objected. They slugged it out with the judge for an hour and a half while we ate doughnuts in another room, and ended up settling the case.

Turns out these two morons were going through this dog and pony show for less then $10k in marital assets. :rolleyes: again.

If you're on the registered voter roles, you will eventually be called.
 
I don't know about the other states, but in Florida you don't have to be registed to vote to be called for jury duty. I guess they use drivers licenses instead.
 
I think in California, they can get it from the voter rolls, the driver's license info or from a third source, which I've forgotten.

LOL! Aren't those also two of the four states where people are obsessed with incest???? (along with Mississippi and Alabama) :D :D
 
I was summoned last Wednesday down to the courthouse and was up for selection for an aggravated battery/attempted first degree murder case, but they agreed on the jury before my name ever came up to be questioned, and I didn't have to stay after that. :cool: I bet if I had been called, I would've been on the jury.
 
I got put on telephone standby last summer. My group got let off, so I'll probably get another summons this year.

Ever seen Deer Hunter ? :D

soooooooweeeeeee

:laugh5:
 
Wrong Movie. Deer Hunter was more Pennsylvania/New Yorkish.

You are thinking of Deliverance.

I've been in Georgia for 32 years. I don't recall any obsession with incest.
