Got a Jury Duty notice

Didn't get one last year for some reason. Got one like clock work for years on the same year as I had to smog my ride.
I'm guessing they had a new list of fresh meat from all those California Licenses they gave out to illegals [:D]. They're more of the perps peers then my Japo *.
So this time it's on a Monday. Typically it was like Tuesday or Wednesday. I wonder if I call on Friday they'll just excuse me or make me call back for a week? Either case I'll call on Monday to speak to a human if they want me to keep calling to check.

I'm retired, rational, and ready - that's probably why they skip me.
They give welfare rats more $ a day.
Say whatever to get out of it.
EVERYONE there is lying anyhow.
where I live the county is different than city I was called one time to serve for 90 days I was picked for 13 different trials convicted 12 of them and one the JUDGE threw out
If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Fairly quickly I was told to just have my doc fax a letter over, and they would excuse me permanently. This does not include Federal matters though,...I've never been called for one of those, but the same would apply.
here they go by the registered voter logs .I have been picked twice in40 years .My wife has never been called
Here in California they go by the motor vehicle. Since the illegal I mean undocumented citizens gets a notice, too if they have a state issued diver's license. Then again being a sanctuary state anyone can be a juror [:D].
I've been "on the list" several times but either excused or rejected for some reason.
Business trip got postponed, so I called them up and asked to be put back on [:D] Getting off or getting back in was no problem [:0]
Though some seniors go for the free entertainment.
Every court employee getting $60-80-100k +++
They give you $5.
Last judge I faced- had 8 P/T jobs for town courts. Incompetent as all hell. If you suck as a lawyer in NJ you go with a politicrap provided judgeship. BUT--You have to protect your RICO party.
He was pensioned out at $210,000 for his $300k job.
Still works per diem when present judge no shows. $900 per day
Politically appointed - corrupt to the core- no justice -just favors for their friends and family.
Obey the law??? LMAO
Jury "duty" is BS

Yep, sure get to see some sorry assed lawyers, judges and the system and how disgusting the system can be.
Only good experience was too see how sorry assed and disgusting the court system can be, sending someone to the big house for a minor offense and turning out murders and rapist to make room for them
and it's all about how much money they (the judges, lawyers and employees at the court house) can rake into their pockets and bleed the taxpayers)[:0][:(!]
I got to educate a few limp wristed liberals and steered the verdict to the right end.
I wasn't aware that one of the foreman's duties was to influence the jury's decision. Not much point of a jury then.
It's your most effective method of changing your immediate environment, allows a glimpse into the sordid world of the finest Justice System that money can buy, educates you about the Judges & prosecuting attorneys involved in ruining the community, and gives you the opportunity to share opinions and pizza with random strangers in a Courthouse downtown.
And they cover your parking and pay minimum wage; no wonder you have to be Selected.
"You're dismissed." [:D]
So how did she convince me to take my chances? She mentioned I have a high group number 00059. Don't know what it means but I called my work to maybe get someone else lined up for tonight. So I now get to call the court house again at 17:30 P.M. Yay [V]!
I'll bet she just wanted me to get off the phone and know nothing about this "high" group number.
I'll have to remember the high group number in couple of years.
Made it all the way up to the questioning part.
Turned out that my brother in law was the arresting officer.
They must have made a note of it because I've never been called again.

It's not the foreman's duty alone. It is the duty of each of the jury members to explain his position and try to sway the others to the right verdict. True, you can refuse to explain your position to the others, but I think that rarely happens. It is only human to want to justify your position to others. In any case, I was able to show a few others the error in their logic and they willingly changed their vote. After talking with friends who served also, they agreed that was how it worked in their jury rooms. [:)]
