Jury Duty - Page 3

I just mentioned my brother in prison for child porn that got a raw deal by the DA. They excused me from the child abuse case they were trying to get jurors for.

Isn't Paris Hilton's case coming up?

Poor Ken.

I'm sorry he got selected for jury duty. Not for actually serving, as I'd like to do it myself, but for the financial hit. Most people try to get out of jury duty with the financial hardship bit, so the judges don't like to believe it.

I've only been called a couple of times, and they were DUI cases. The defense attorneys bounce me pretty quickly from those. The judges ask if you have strong feelings about DUI driving, and I very much do. The last one was a prescription drug DUI. The defense really didn't want me on that one and the questioning didn't get very far.

Ken just responded that he was a member of SADD while in highschool.

We need to work on his responses.

Oh heck - even the one-day cases can be scary. Nothing like sitting in the jury room while one of your fellow jurors announces that they have reasonable doubt because they believe that space aliens might have stopped time and invisibly planted the drugs.

Not that I would know from experience, or anything.

Usually when they find out that my dad was a cop, they excuse me.

I'm sure your notorious gassiness had nothing to do with being released, eh?

I think you've discovered GC's rap name, "notorious gassiness"

No, you're thinking of "Gaseous Eruptions", who is someone completely different.

Could you imagine repressing the call of the snow goose in a court room? It's so quiet in there, even a held back fart could be heard.
