I served jury duty on Monday 8:30am-5pm

I have never served, never want to either. I would not be a good juror. Too stressful.

Hi dischavic! I haven't served jury duty because here in our country we don't have that kind of system. However, I just want to congratulate you even though the lady was not convicted. I am sure that the said lady has a tainted reputation now. Have a nice day!

No I haven't lol but I think it would be quite Interesting to do but I am surprised the case was dismissed if they had the tapes

yes i served jury duty a little over a year ago for about two weeks. i was on the grand jury of a guy who stoled the identity of couple and got 10 mortages and credits in their. it was over a milliion dollars. he got caught because he want to Home Depot and wanted all this crap and they didn't like the looks of his ID. after about half hour of him waiting he ran out of the store. and of course it was caught on tape. A$$ hole

ugh, I'm glad i've never had to be a jury yet. Here in spain only some trials have a jury, most don't, and i like it that way. But if i ever have to be a jury, i will.

I've served. Well for us you get Jury duty, it used to be if you were registered to vote, but since so many people refused to register because of that they changed it that if you have a drivers license and are 18 you can get jury duty. Doesn't matter about voting now. You can't get it twice within 3 years. You only get $15 a day. which isn't worth jack when your work won't pay for you for jury duty (and there are a lot of places that won't unless you take it as a vacation or personal leave day and I don't even get them so basically i lose a whole days worth of work for a whopping $15 bucks). I went once a few years back. Probably 5 or 6. The first time I got the notice the day of my jury duty we had a serious blizzard and courts were closed. I got out of it. So I got another notice 2 months later. I was going to be out of town. So I called to say i wouldn't be available and they rescheduled it for the day I'd get back. We had no trials that went to court that day. There were only three on the docket anyhow. So we got a 2 hour lunch, watched movies and got out an hour early, plus the $15 bucks. I still hope I never have jury duty again.

no there is no such thing in our country, people who are offenders will be purnished straight, by the way is the money to motivate people to come and face the jury again?

no i haven't serve a jury duty before... and i don't even know how to do it... :-) i think i'm not allowed to as i am not a citizen in here... even in my home country, i never serve a jury duty before...

THEY PAY YOU FOR DOING THAT?!?!??!? thats sucks. i mean not because they pay you but because i served also for jury and when my dad picked me up (i cant drive) he explain why they call people out and told me that they do not pay. i went because the case was a cloth store owner and this guy. the guy wanted his money back because supposedly he bought this shirt that was already "ripped." i dont remember but it had to do with ripped clothes. i also stayed that late... 4:30pm around there. man i shouldve know.

I did jury duty last year, and was one of the 12 up in the seats being interviewed. It lasted the same length as your day, but I didn't get picked, thank goodness. It also wasn't federal. It was about this woman who received stolen property in exchange for weed. I read in the paper she was convicted.

I have never served jury duty. It looks kind of interesting to me, but I am not sure if I would like to do it. I would probably end up making excuses for the accused. I have been called as a witness three times though, through my job. I find that very stressful. The first times I sat at the courthouse the entire day before the prosecutor told me they did not need me after all. Nice huh?! I had been there all day, getting more and more nervous - for nothing! The second time I got to testify over the phone. That was sort of ok. The third time I got to testify in court. I was very nervous before it all started but it wss fine when I got to testify. It was kind of fun really. The defendant made no sense and was making contradictory remarks. I really wanted to do the work of the prosecutor and point that out. Kind of hard to have to only answer the questions!

I'm glad that you enjoyed the experience, disvachic, lol. I have always managed to wiggle out of serving for some reason I am not sure of. I guess I just don't have a lot of faith in the jury system. I have sat in on a couple of cases to watch the proceedings, however.

Hello! Well, i've never served jury duty at all, and i've never been to any court either. In my country the justice system is different. But i personally kinda want to do it. LOL! it fascinates me, guess because of what I saw on movies & tele shows. Is it the same in the movies, how they portray it and in real life court case? *just curious* hehehehe I'm glad you did enjoy the experience. When you get the cheque, treat yourself to something lovely! you deserve it pal! *smile*.. enjoy ! cheers! :D
