| i had been scheduled for jury duty once...3 days after i moved out of AZ. I had to send a bunch of crap to prove i moved out. Julia, they can fine you and still make you serve...or they can arrest you. I belevie for comtempt of court. |

Julia: be really careful next time you get summoned.
dude just say that you think most people are guilty until proven innocent if they are caught red handed. i did and it immediately got me off the case. also tell them you think the justice system is a joke and that its good for nothing. they dont like people who hate the justice system. it means your too slanted towards saying guilty. even if you arent. |

they send you those notices on rotation. you're supposed to call the courthouse the morning of your date and a recording will tell you if you're needed or not. the first 2 times i got one i threw them away. the 3rd one i actually called and they said it wasn't neccessary to come in. i've moved twice from that address since and haven't got another one since :thepirate |

TRUST ME, i tried to get out of it. the judge said the trial will be 3-5 working days long :o
and julia, i would go get that taken care of. just go to court and they'll probably ask you to come in the next day. if you dont you can get arrested for contempt of court. up to 1500 bucks i think |

| Just say you hate black people. I was selected for jury duty and during the interview the defense lawyer asked me if "based on looks" that I thought is client was guilty. My exact words, "hello...look at him, of course he's guilty". |

HAHAHA! That's exactly what my recruiter told me!
"Just say you hate black people, that's what I always say." |
