I had Jury Duty today and they tried to pick me to be one of the elite 12 Jurors, I'm thinking because of my race (being so called white, whatever that means) I'm actually part Greek and German with a bit of Indian in me but that is like 1%.

But my point is living in San Antonio where it is mostly a Hispanic town that is broke up into sub cultures of what a Hispanic is but that would take a minute.

Anyway to the point was they really wanted to me, I guess since the Prosecutor and Defense lawyers where white, as well as the judge, I guess they would think I would be fair.

So, I told the Defense lawyer that since his defendant didn't have to take the stand to plea his for his case that I wouldn't be able to make a fair judgement unless I could hear from his own mouth what happened. BTW it was a child molestation case and didn't feel like looking at graphic pictures of the 8 year old he sexual assaulted. So I was dismissed because I couldn't make a fair judgement on his innocence since he was hiding behind his lawyer which is standard procedure but the defendant was the 8 year olds uncles and if found innocence he could move back in the house with her but he was going to prison, we all could feel just by looking at him and then the graphic pictures the lucky 12 jurors would be looking at wasn't something I wanted to be a part of.

So, I studied the lawyers to the best of my ability and found that the way they pick and have to agree on the 12 jurors they want is actually another pseudo science that holds some relevance. I was there from 8 AM to 5 PM central time. Peeps, I was glad to get out of that shit hole of a situation.

Anyone else ever experienced a situation on Jury Duty like this or worse and has anyone every been a part of the 12 jurors and how did you agree on a verdict and what was your position on the case?

poor old man
he had an "accident" with a three bar fire
but that's OK
because he wasn't very happy anyway
poor woman
strangled in her very own bed as she read
but that's OK
because she was old and she would have died anyway
DON"T BLAME
this sweet and tender hooligan
because he'll never, never do it again
(at least not until the next time)
So jury you've heard every world
but before you decide

I love life for you my love, you my love
you my love, you my love
So jury you've heard ever word
but before you decide

"In the midst of life we are in debt ETC"
ETC! ETC! ETC! ETC!
IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEBT ETC

Dear hero imprisoned
With all the new crimes
That you are perfecting
Oh I can't help quoting you
'Cause everything that you said
Rings true
And now in my cell
Well, I followed you
And here's a list of who I slew
Reggie Kray, do you know my name?
Oh don't say you don't
Please say you do
I am the last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys
In my cell
Well, I loved you
And every man with a job to do
Ronnie Kray, do you know my face?
Oh don't say you don't
Please say you do
I am the last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys
In our lifetime those who kill
The newsworld hands them stardom
And these are the ways
On which I was raised
These are the ways on which I was
Which I was raised:
I never wanted to kill
I AM NOT NATURALLY EVIL
Such things I do
Just to make myself
More attractive to you
HAVE I FAILED?
