[QUOTE=mikfoz;29304156];) I was just getting comfy wth a good book when I was called an hour and a half after we all signed in. The trial then lasted eight days and we were in court for most of that apart from one day where the poor kid was really struggling to get her act together to give evidence.[/QUOTE]

There was this woman in a different trial to mine that caught the same train back home as me every day and her trial was scheduled to last months.

great idea
send someone who actually knows a bit of the political system out of jury duty

Uhmm.. no it's because Media is biased and not always truthful, you can't have an opinion about the case before it starts.

what does that have to do with a jury making decisions such as suing a man for when a man robbing his house slips and breaks his arm
Just walk in and say you hate white people, black people, asian people, hispanic people, and everybody else and they'll throw you out. Hoorah no jury duty.
1) Pick a scene from My Cousin Vinnie.
2) Re-enact aforementioned scene in court.
3) Observe; report findings.
Don't fuck this up.
state your name and DON'T SAY A FUCKING WORD
Whenever they ask you a question just jump.
[QUOTE=JDK721;29299727]I received a notice in the mail that I've been summoned for jury duty. I have to go to the courthouse in about a month and will probably be there for the entire day.
Has anyone else been a juror? What should I expect?[/QUOTE]
If you don't wish to do it OP, you should make claims (unsubstantiated it may be) that you know someone involved in the case. You can suggest things like social events, facebook, friends of a friend.
The reason behind me suggesting this is that a person cannot sit in as a juror on a case in which they may know someone in.
Granted you might just get swapped with someone for another day or jury service but it has been known that if someone knows someone involved they just get replaced by those on standby juror service.
Then again, it is surely interesting to take part in the process, right?
This thread makes me glad Europe doesn't have this system.
So many hilarious replies on page 1
Play this in the middle of the trial.

Britain does.
I think my dad is going to that, if you see a white man with a black afro and ginger beard that's him.
I sat in on Court once as part of Work Experience with the county Newspaper. Some woman came on to testify against a group of people, her story was that there'd been a fight on her lawn with the accused apparently initiating it. The fight worked its way into her house where she fainted from fright or something. Anyway, when she came to she found that one of her curtains had been stolen and 4 sets of Silver Cutlery.
Court's exciting shit man.
