i hope you get a case which isn't too traumatic.

i dont think they would ever want me on a jury, i cant make up my mind about what to do with my OWN life... let alone someone elses fate

TheFrog said:

well frankly, around here there isnt much other than DUI cases that go to Jury, so Im not so worried

nakedpianoplayer said:

yea seriously I think I am the last person they would want on a jury, but whatever Ill do my civil duty

I figure if I get it out of the way now, I wont ever have to do it again

$15 in Cali.

Stax said:

Hope you get an interesting case.

i was about to suggest that Ella should find them innocent.

TheFrog said:

Ohh yea, I bet this is going to go over well maybe I can get out of it by saying that you guys are trying to sway my decision

Congratulations you....

...This is your most successful thread EVER!

"Guilty! Just look at his face!"

"Ella, that's the Judge"

RocknRollisalive said:

i was thinking the same thing but I think I got at least 20 replies when I called you out on your age

Find yourself guilty.

That'll confuse the judge.

ella731 said:

Ooooooh 20?



Easy now!

*master of shitty threads realises its time to button up

I hope you get along with the other jurors more than anything. That can be a real pain in the ass if it doesn't work out.


I'd love to do jury service, especially some mega drawn-out case.

1. Get paid for it
2. Employer by law gives you time off work and you still get paid

I got to do jury duty a few years ago. It was actually very interesting and even kinda fun. My fellow jurors were pretty cool, though. One girl brought saltwater taffy everyday and another guy taught us all how to salsa dance. We were a rockin jury.

any threads that directly have anything to do with insulting you, seem to go far

CarrieMpls said:

Thats cool, Im not really dreading it at all, I think it will eb a nice change of pace, and it will be neat to see the courts in action...well from the jurys point of view anyways

ella731 said:

It's a gift

RocknRollisalive said:

Yes you are a twat and everyone seems to be aware of it

ella731 said:

Like I said..... gift

RocknRollisalive said:

dave likes to wear pink polka dotted bikinis.... pass it on

I just hope that the case doesn't hinge around a dispute over fabric colours:


"Your Honour, I maintain that this jacket is PURPLE"

"Aw come ON it is NOT"


etc etc

RocknRollDave said:

ella731 said:

Ok, now I am worried...Eve, you just agreed with me..What the hell is going on...?

Should I be watching my back.....?

I'm witcha' Taureau. The last time I was on a jury it was for a week. I got paid from jury duty and I got paid like I was a work too. It was a cool one-week paid vacation. The other jurors were coo;, we usually went to lunch together.
We were paid $9.00 for the first 3 three days, every day thereafter we were paid $25.00.

I find that walking in and looking at random jury members, and screaming "Guilty!!!" helps in avoiding being picked if you so wish.
