Arcanine2009 08/22/23 3:08:45 PM #1:	I got called in for Jury Duty today. Has anyone actually went through it all? My work is weird in the sense that I don't have any days allocated for it (like a week's worth of pay). I can get no deduction in pay as long as I work part of the week. Luckily I have a short trial that should end by Friday. I have some anxiety about this. First time doing this all the way, and I feel really bad about leaving work for coworkers, and having more work when I come back next week. I also just came back from last week. --- Less is more.

TimeForAction 08/22/23 3:26:33 PM #6:	Ive been seated twice. First time was for an assault case where both parties were black and the entire jury was white from the other side of town. The deliberations were intense as the guy next to me was a full blown racist and should not have been on the jury but the questions didnt weed him out. The guy had also had a stroke a couple years before and had to have it explained to him on the second day which of the little blacks girls is the defendant and which was the public defender.

Getting out of jury duty is not my concern at the moment, as long as I get paid from my work. It would be a hardship if I couldn't. I straight up told the judge today I wasn't sure and had to get back to HR and my boss. I have to get back to him in an hour. I actually save money by going to jury duty vs going to work. It's also a very short trial .I just felt really bad about leaving my coworkers with work, and hope that I don't get even more work next week when I come back. I am a little nervous about doing it. It's not gonna be a cake walk. Speaking about getting out of jury duty. This one dude came in late (around 9.. but that's fine, nobody was called anyway at that time). Dude faked a very obvious loud audible wheezing sound twice, and was told to step aside into the hallway. He then asked on a very normal voice of he was excused from Jury Duty, and they said he would only be deferred by 3 months. Lmao. If he just waited and got in line to argue for hardship. He's get 12 months. --- Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need. <cite>Arcanine2009 posted [p:975595796] in Jury Duty...

sfcalimari 08/22/23 3:36:29 PM #15:	I was on a jury trial once, like 4 or 5 days for a minor fender bender where a taxi driver and aspiring model was asking for like $100,000 in potential lost wages from not being able to do modeling due to alleged whiplash. We gave him like $4000 after calculating on our own how much taxi wages he lost out on by being out of work for a couple months. It was insanely boring, you basically just sit there for hours on end while the lawyers run around asking questions and getting told off by the judge and bringing on confusing witnesses who don't seem to add anything useful to the trial. --- "Tether even a roasted chicken." - Yamamoto Tsunetomo <cite>sfcalimari posted [p:975595851] in Jury Duty...

NoxObscuras 08/22/23 4:02:07 PM #22:	I've only been seated on a trial once. The trial was for a man who had sexually abused like 7 different girls ranging from 5 to 11 years old, over several years. The 5 year old was his niece and she was in her early 20's when the trial happened. It was fucked because she confronted him on Facebook and he was saying that she knows she liked it... He's in jail for the rest of his life. The deliberation lasted less than 5 minutes. Wish I could remember his name though to link an article or something. Anyway, my jury duty lasted a week and a half for that one and my job paid for my hours. IIRC, if your job doesn't pay you, then the court does. But it's usually an insultingly low amount.
