Jury Duty

[BHC]

I got called for Jury two years in a row, the 2nd time I called the guy on the phone said that's impossible cause Bergen County has so many residents, he called me back and said the judge said I must report....Another time I called I was living in my current home for just over 6 months when I got a notice to appear for jury duty in Bergen County, I called and explained I moved out of Bergen County about 6 months ago, the clerk said he doesn't matter a summons is a summons, so I filled out the form explaining that I have moved, response from the judge was I must report or there will be a warrant for my arrest....My sister works for the BC probation dept., and knows many people in the courthouse including judges, a different judge informed her that since I'm not a resident of BC there is no need for me to show up, nothing the courts can do

most times you don't even have to report.  If you do - you do. If you somehow get to the part where you are being interviewed for jury selection and the case doesn't interest you and you do not wish to fulfill your civic duty - just say really insensitive, outrageous things that suggest you might have some prejudice related to the case or the perp or the victim.    No way the prosecutor or the defending attorney would want you.

I wear my NRA shirt. And if it gets to the point where your questioned I tell them I believe in eye for an eye. Make a comment about bringing back the death penalty. 

It works. Lol.

You rehabilitate? Your a fine example of the Justice system.

Defense lawyer asked me who would I believe, a witness or a cop. I told him I would believe a cop because they are trained to to observe details where as you could have twelve witnesses and would have 12 different stories. Defense lawyer requested I be dismissed.

I always got out during the interview.  I've always been asked is I was a member of any club or association. 

 

"Yes, I'm in the NRA"

 

"Next".

Just go and never stop rocking back and forth in your chair as you stare at the ceiling

During the questioning when they ask you if you know any Police officers tell them yes, when they ask how tell them as a juvenile they used to harass you every night while hanging in the park.

Anyone have any tips on getting out of Jury Duty?

Thankz

Are you self-employed?

[buckhound]

wear  your MAGA hat  with a confederate flag pin on either side, NRA shirt or hillary for prison what ever you have  camo pants , rubber boots and make sure you have your chewing tobacco and bottle for spittoon ... 

[Bill from NJ]

Well, you have some options...

 

1) Write a little letter such as... below.

2) Follow the Duck's advice.

Or

3) Wear a Tee Shirt with Kill em' all...

You should report to jury duty; it’s our duty.  I’ve been called several times and have served a few times. Most of the cases were interesting.   I’ve also been dismissed several times by the defense- I think because I wore a navy suit and looked very conservative.  Defense didn’t want to me.... LOL..  Alternatively, you can call them and tell them you can’t make it because of work obligations.

There is enough people sitting on unemployment,housewives and retiree's for jury duty,why bother the working man especially if their company doesn't pay them for being off
