Jury Duty

I'm on jury duty right now and I'm relieved that I have wifi access while waiting for my name to be called. I wouldn't mind being called to a case since work is a bit crazy right now

we want michelle!

i sat on a murder trial once. a bunch of polish people were drinking and one of them got violent. since the DA couldn't definitively prove that the victim didn't die from getting beaten or from an accident, we voted guilty on the lesser charge of negligent homicide (down from murder 2 and manslaughter).

Are you really asking this? Come on, Jamie.

well i can understand a guy being out drunk with his girlfriend and some other assholes start shit and it turns sour, but just being out with your friends and you start getting cranky and it turns into a big fight where you actually kill someone? get a grip lol trunks, did the polish person kill one of his friends or something? or a random person?

when i got drunk once, i met this one dude that was into self-asphixia masturbation... he asked me to be his spotter, so i went back to his house to spot him. I was too drunk to spot and passed out and he died. The entire thing went to trial, but i was found not guilty....



ya.....

If you haven't almost killed someone, you weren't really drunk, imo.

Last time I was selected, it was a civil case between a drug company and some woman. I was chosen to be on the jury, but they settled it on the day they started the case was supposed to start.

I could be doing a civil or a criminal case. I'm hoping to get picked for a criminal case. I don't mind being on "vacation"

How much do they compensate you?

Normally $40 a day, but my job has to compensate me for a certain number of days while I serve.

I had jury duty back in January.

did myself a favor and got to the courthouse early just so i can get a good spot by an outlet for my laptop.

I know some people view it as a break from work. I knew one guy though who was seriously annoyed because the case dragged on for so long, and he was taking a big pay hit cause of it.

i think they were drinking nothing but vodka for two days straight. it was just two older guys and an older woman drinking. the vic asked to stay over one night because he couldn't get himself home, but when he asked again the next day, that's when the accused went apeshit and started pounding on the vic.

accused = the guy that was on trial

so yeah ... he couldn't "asphyx" himself while doing it? well what the hell? does he need to hands to masturbate? he could use his free hand to asphyx himself. not like i have experience in it.
