They always disqualify me since I'm an opinionated sort. They're looking for "impartial." I give them my exact thoughts on every question asked. bigsmile

I personally, have no interest in the judicial process...a lot of it is plea bargaining & misdirection...too much room for social prejudice...IMO. But have fun...I can tell you're gonna be a hoot in there! biggrin

There is a procedure to it... they can only get rid of a certain number .... only one can be for no reason. The others have to be valid reasons justified by profession, bias or relationship to individuals involved. So, you just might have slipped through the cracks or one side wanted you because of your opinion!

Nothing makes this Country greater than being able exercise one's right to civic duty... For the People by the People.

Some feel Jury Duty is a burden when they should feel proud that they have an opportunity to serve their community.

Just remember to take the time to consider the opinions of others, educated or not, and make sure that your opinions are heard as well.

They just don't go by voters anymore, I don't vote and I got summoned and did not have to go. At the time I was taking care of my mom who is disabled and could not tend to herself at that time.
