Off to Jury Duty ..... 0.o

Little Hot Shot, he was a character

I wish I could do what Hot Shot used to do, he'd always play hide n seek with me, he was born around 1984 and this shot was probably taken in 1985, it's one of the shots I had transferred from 35mm to a CD. Well, looks like they like old women. I've been selected to serve so off I go to do my duty ..... I sure hope I won't be gone very long, Ally stays indoors when I'm gone but how long is too long for her. Bummer. Do you think I could gain a judges sympathy to let me out of this?

I doubt it. Good luck with that. I hope it doesn't last too long for you.

Thank you, I hope it'll only be for the morning, I know Ally will be fine for 4 hours and if that's all it takes she should be ok. She'll have plenty of water and we're going outside now to play for a little while.

I am glad that we have no more civil jurors here, so nobody risks to be called.

I don't think I would like that, if I had to defend myself against a crime I would hope a jury of my peers were there to give their opinion about what they thought. Of course this only works if people are honest.

Oh wow @LadyDuck I never would have thought of that, I guess that would make much better sense considering that many here have no clue what the laws really mean. I wonder what the criteria would be for a professional juror.

@rebelann We have professional jurors because the civil jurors have proven to be completely lost to judge difficult cases. Now it's much better than in the past when we had civil jurors.

I have never been called for jury service. It should prove interesting, but not a responsibility I would really enjoy.

@rebelann The decision as to whether a person is guilty or not can be difficult to arrive at.

I'm not liking it either, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell whether or not the defendant is innocent. I'd hate to misunderstand something which happens to me so often.

They didn't really ask questions that anyone could answer that way but I think I might become a witness, the 2 peeps that were immediately excused were the witnesses because apparently they do not believe in passing judgement on others.

@rebelann I was dismissed because I had a stillborn, it was a medical malpractice case having to do with a pregnant woman.

No sympathy from the courts, I'm afraid. Good luck and I hope they throw you out soon!

Maybe you won't be chosen for a jury?

I was one of the 40 they wanted to check out but I got lucky and they didn't choose me, at least I got $6 for my trouble.
