Who's been called .. who's actually sat on a case?

I've done both - been on a murder, theft and drug case (3)




I think it's interesting .. on call waiting right now to see if they need me this afternoon.

i have and it was a child molestation case, we put the guy away for a long time.

I couldn't do it, I'm to indecisive when it comes to something like that.

I'm jealous!!!

I got called twice, the first time I had just moved out of the jurisdiction and had to waive.... and the second time was for a civil case, but I wasn't seated. They had no other trials that week because the courthouse was full, the Bobby Cutts case was going on.

probably wasnt long enough......should of cut the old man berries off!

I never got to go in for jury duty. I called, but they didn't need me.

Last summer, I was called for the Texas City BP Explosion civil case. That sucked... For 4-5 days out of two weeks, over 230 people in one small room waiting to see who they were going to narrow it down to. There were like 6 plantiffs lumped into this case. It would have been cool to be in and sit on the case, but it would have been hard because two plantiffs were children of a man that committed suicide after the fact and he wasn't injured in the explosion (besides mentally) and it's hard to actually put a monetary value based on damages (how can you say what's too little or too much). I wasn't chosen because I had dated a guy that was actually in the explosion and had a lawsuit pending later on in the year.

You go dude!!!! Had to make you feel good eh?

Wow ... I made Lilith jealous ... made my day

called once.....


they wouldn't seat me..because i was not a gun owner......at the time

I've gone in for jury duty 3 times and have never been seated. I think it has to do with my views on what to do with criminals.

ya when they hear I'm all for castrating a child molester or hanging a DUI offender ........... for some reason they smile and show me the door

Go figure eh?

The last time I was in a jury pool, I kept saying "they all deserve to hang." So I got let go. The case was about civil claim between to people recently divorced. :)

(No actually the last time I was called to jury duty was when "Burrhead" Ivy was arrested for giving the finger to a policeman who restrained him from fighting the fire of his then burning house. Terroristic threat was the charge, that's the Patriot Act at work there. He admitted to it, so we had no choice but to find him guilty. The judge fined him $25, the minumum, but the two other charges against him both came back not guilty.)

i got out of it, because i worked in a hospital at the time, and i was needed there. i didnt want to do it anyway.

Got to one time but it was over an eviction. The people would not move out but the home owner was not doing right either. lol

Ohh well that was my excitement lol

I was called , to 9 months of J. duty.(It was early '70s) I was on every jury, here in Roswell,NM except for 3 trials. ***I believe if your called today; they will only let you serve but 3 months.***(I was on about ten cases a month.) I sent a lot of people up-- to serve their time behind bars. (I was glad to help.)

In Colorado it's the 1 day/1 trial rule. Works for me

I hope I don't have too...my history they don't want me to anyway.

Last time I went to court they told me they didn't want to see me there again.

Never been called thought it would be interesting to do at least once.
