Maybe he was suggesting I'm a criminal? :unsure:

He  said "I", which was why I linked the Alberta jury requirements.

Perhaps Neil's religion forbids him from passing judgment.

I'm pretty sure his religion requires it, actually.

I've been confined to an institution.  Maybe that's why they don't want me.  I would be just as fair and as impartial as I am here. :)
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I was summoned once, but never had to do anything but send in a letter saying I couldn't go because of my work.
:p

I am called from time to time but I never make it on the jury. My stepfather works as an investigator for the District Attorney, and once that comes to light the defense folks always dismiss me.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

Woohoo!  I just got a jury summons today for next month  :cool:

One thing... they better bring us food from the BP *shakes fist angrily*
I just got back from the "orientation".  Jury service here is: weird.  I am essentially on call for the next six months.  They make everyone serve a six month term... but the last term (July-December 2009) there was not one single trial in my county.  Hicks know how to behave. :smoke:

Not sure how I saw it before, but I read the thread title as "Jury Duty Donuts".  Haven't had a doughnut in ages, so now I'm craving one of those glazed chocolate cake-type doughnuts :(

Oh man maybe we'll get DONUTS if we have to do a trial! :w00t:

They fed us grinders in Boston.  :cool:

When the judge walked in the bailiff like sprung out of his chair and was like "ALLLL RAHHHHHHHHZ"

He reminded me of this guy.

<-----------

I was disappointed he did not say "gurrhw gurrhw gurrhw" afterward.  :(

In the state of Kentucky, there is no exemption for being a member of the legal profession.  In fact, the circuit judge was actually summoned to his own jury pool for this term.  :lol:

We've had a prosecutor receive a jury summons for their own trial as well.   :cool:
