re: any OTers have interesting jury duty stories?

I once had the feral cat piss smelling lady sit behind me while waiting for whatever-the-frick they were talking about to move along. She got dismissed once the lady next to her reported to the officer that she had defecated on herself. She appeared to be more upset about being removed than pooping herself.

naw not into skate boards, I've got a 7 mile a day habit...trying to win C C Classic for my age group (75) too many ringers for that group...might be able to capture the 80 yr group if I last that long.

I was on a jury for an assault charge. A guy beat the shite out of another guy with a tire iron. They were fighting over a married woman lol. The guy kinda deserved it though imo, but he was guilty. I think he did 6 months in jail.

I don't get called for Jury Duty.

I have never been called for jury duty. Knock on wood

Two time felon gets pulled over because a tail light is out. His insurance card is out of date, so officer is trying to verify when a tow truck driver also stops. It's taking awhile, so a state trooper pulls over to check on the situation.

Felon jumps out of his truck, runs across 4 lanes of traffic with the officer, trooper & tow truck driver giving chase. Felon is tackled and when he's pulled up off of the ground, there's a handgun beneath him.

His lawyer asked us to believe the felon wasn't in possession of a firearm, that the guy just happened to fall on top of an abandoned gun.

First vote, all but one lady says guilty. She'd slept through two days of testimony (I sat behind her, so I saw her nodding off) and made us convince her. It was almost like an episode of Murder She Wrote (without a death), but finally we sent the doofus back to prison.

chosen to serve as one of the 12. After judge metioned to the whole room to address her if anyone had an issue, Had told the judge at lunch that I was the sole provider for my children and had taken a week off to go to the FL keys for vacation the next day. Somehow I got chosen, had to go sit in the juror box and got called to the bench twice to be grilled about my situation. I told them I don't have another option as I'm a single dad and I have them for the week. Eventually they called me up and released me. I got the hell out of that room as fast as I could.

Looking back, felt I should have been more blunt as in, "you can put me on the jury but i'll not have any one to watch my kids, both under 12 at the time, and i won't be here"

Was in on a jury selection part in LP for a black guy that was charged with possession and intent to distribute and also had a firearm on him. Remember the guy walking inane looking over all of us and loudly saying Ah F*** MAN! Sucks for him but it was nothing but whitey in the entire room. Judge asked him to repeat it again and the guy starts talking to his lawyer about pleading out. Nothing special but I always laugh when I see his face and that piece of shite knows he ain’t going free.
