I've been called up for jury duty AGAIN!
- Thread starter Tonio
- Start date
It's supposed to be random, but I don't think it is. I've gotten summoned twice. I served in the District Court in Greenbelt in June, but fortunately never had to go up there. 
When was the last time you served, Tonio? I thought you couldn't be called if you served in the last 3 years.

I don't get how they choose....I've been a registered voter for quite a number of years (not ready to admit how many, exactlyTonio said:Three times in the past 10 years. Is it because I don't have a political affiliation?
Or are the judges just impressed by my impeccable dispensation of jurisprudence?
) Never been to jail, either! I've never been contacted. Should I be glad or sad that I'm not special enough.........Waaahhhhhh.....

Be glad you weren't selected. From what a friend of mine told me, the jurors on the jury she served on were RETARDED. It was a drug bust, dude was caught red handed by the cops. One of the members of the jury said that "GOD" told him that he shouldn't send this man to jail for his crime and that the bible said he shouldn't judge. The cops had "set him up" She quickly smacked some sense into him by saying "So it's OK for him to sell drugs to your grandbaby?"
I wish I could get on a jury, hang em high and let Satan sort em out.

I served last year in December. I was the alternate and got dismissed before deliberations began. Seemed like a slam dunk to me, and the other jurors all seemed like decent people. Took two days of my time. The least I could do considering that I'd want the same if I were being tried for something.
Sucks to get tagged three times in such a short span though. They must like your smile.

RetardedJury's 2 lawyers that are lying scum!.Hello6 said:
A judge that was a lawyer lying scum! And Cop's that were usually MP's
before they was cops.
When you go into the service they give you a aptitude test those who score the lowest. They teach to stand gard.
So I do hope for Gods sake that none of you ever get's falsely accused.
Because it is not about innocent or guilty.
It's about who has the best lawyer the state or you.
And you better hope you got lots of money.
They have more inturpations of the law than religon's have of the bible.
Remember the juridical and prison system are big mega business's.
And like any other mega business they don't care what is right or wrong.
Gotta grow and make way for all these new lawyers getting out of collage.
So to be on a jury is more than just hang um.
Never put anything beond a cop or a lawyer.
Wanna buy some lumber. He is just one that got caught? Duggan??was it?
Red handed is red handed. Talk about double standerds.
So if the system covers evidents the system might just plant it too??
Just some food for thought!

At the very least I hope they can spell better than you.

I got my notice in the mail last week. If I get selected to sit on a jury, I'm not ashamed to throw my lot in as to choosing right from wrong.
Lawyers are a crafty bunch. They know loopholes and ways around the legal system. The thing to keep in mind is that they are salesman of sorts. They have to be good at "selling" their client as innocent. The ones that are respected at what they do could sell an ice maker to an Eskimo and smile the whole time. Sometimes people selected to jurys tend to forget this fact. A smart juror can take this into account and see through their lies.

My wife was selected (big winner!!) for jury duty in Greenbelt twice also. She got out of it once b/c little kom had just been born. The other time just never got selected to sit on a jury b/c her brother is a cop (may have swayed her view on the accused).
...I was called a few years ago. Was selected for 2 juries - it was an amazing experience. I think everyone should do this at least once and hope they get on a jury. Besides the stuff that goes on in the courtroom the jury deliberations are such an eye opening experience. It was amazing how unprepared the Assistant DA's appeared to be.
One case was open and shut - the other was more interesting. However I really wanted to hit some of my fellow jurors. Instead of making decisions based on the evidence presented they kept injecting things like "If that was my child I wouldn't want them to got to jails for xxx years." etc. They weren't even paying attention to what was presented and the judge was not much help either. We asked to have some testimony read back to us and were told No. He felt we didn't need it. Who put him on the jury?
