Well, Chuck -- When you get arrested for something you didn't do, and demand your day in court, I hope your jury panel is composed of people who are just as conscientious as you are.

It's hard to get arrested when all i do is eat, sleep, work, go to church, and play with trains...I wi***hose guys would quit doing what they do to get arrested then there wouldn't be a panel to choose from for a jury!...Chuck

I want people who are resolute in thier feelings, no wishy washy wafflers. If I am on trial I want the Jury to be hard and strong. Not pliable to both the prosecutor or the defense.

Actually, if you simply respond with direct, resolute replies, they'll usually excuse you. They always seem to choose the people who begin their answers with, "Gosh, I suppose that if..." If you don't appear to have any desire to appear reasonable and agreeable, you won't serve on many juries, nor will you get taken advantage of at a car dealership! [:)]

Jury Duty and a quick trip to the LHS

I hate to go to jury duty, but now it's on the way to my favorite LHS...so... you want to work on your layout and get out of the jury duty?... here's what you do...they summon you to jury duty..sure, you have to sit there for a few hours, but then everybody goes before the judge, PA and the DA to see if you are jury material...Question from the judge...Can you be to the best of your ability an impartial juror?..Sure your honor!...i'll give him a fair trial and a decient hang'in!..Question from the PA...Are you willing to make a fair conviction from the outcome of the trial?..Sure!..if he's guilty he ought to get the max + 99 years, tarred and feathered, and rode to the jailhouse on a pole!...Question from the DA ... Are you willing to hear the testimony and make a fair and unbias decision for or against the defendant?...I don't know!..look at the guy!...He does have those beedy eyes and bad teeth...Looks like a criminal to me!...You may sit down Mr. Clark !...5 minutes later i was out of there with my early dismissal note and on my way to the LHS!......Chuck
