EXCUSED!
i never sent the paper work back in… hahaha
come find my black ass
:needpic:
it works.
I did this the first time too - just completely slipped my mind.
They came at me with a $1000 fine unless I complied this time.
edit: oh well - 6 hours of paid work + a delicious downtown lunch and I’m set for 7 more years.
damnit… just got called :tdown:
hope they pay well… from what I understand, my work covers nothing as far as pay goes (although I thought it was the law that they had to)
They will pay 40 bucks a day if your work doesn’t cover.
Also, it’s very easy to get off of jury duty if you don’t mind lying under oath.
I just got summoned for Grand Jury.
Is this any more difficult to get out of? I plan on playing the ‘this happened to a friend of mine’ card.
bah, I can’t live off of that 
I’ve heard trying to get out of it can screw you later on too (pulling the whole racist thing).
Oh well, hope they have public wifi down there
Not sure if it’s more difficult to get out of, just much more important that you DO get out of it. The average is 11 days and it could be up to 28.
My wife is set for life. Her degree is in forensic chemistry and she did her internship at the Erie County crime lab. Both times she’s been called they immediately dismissed her when they saw her background. Defense attorneys don’t like people who will decide the case based on evidence on juries. 
Good lord.
My boss would not be pleased. I’m thinking about taking Newman’s advice in post 16.
You might get held in contempt, in which case your thrown into jail naked (then your really fucked). I like number 17, unless the lawyer is gay (then your really fucked again). Hopefully you’ll get a girl.
fucking LOL. Best post I’ve read in a long time.
+karma for the post
-karma for relying on NYSpeed to grant you a last second excuse.
OK.
Monday is rapidly approaching.
I’m going to wear jeans/t-shirt/sandals.
Good idea/Bad idea?
just had it for the last few days. It doesn’t matter what you wear, go comfortable since you’re going to be waiting around for what seems like eternity. From what I gather, they’re a lot less likely to excuse you these days than they did years ago so cliche excuses probably wont work.
Either get there early so you can jump on one of their POS computers, or bring a laptop since they have an open wifi network
Tell them you are aware of the Jury Nullification Law. Or do what I did and get rediculously fucking sick, not that I did it on purpose mind you…spending the past 2 weeks home doing nothing but lounging around sucks sasquach cock.
interesting…
EDIT: YES I WIKIPEDIAED IT TOO.
there’s nobody to tell it to though.
unless you luck out and you’re in the first group called.
Basically, it means that you understand that the Jury has the ultimate say in the case and that they are allowed to let the defendant go free despite the amount of evidence against them if they feel it is unjust. Aka, if a man rapes and murders someone’s daughter, and the father of said girl in turn kills the man who did it. The jury has the power to nullify the laws stating that he should be accused of murder because of the circumstances under which he had committed said murder, and can say it is justifiable.
fuckfuckfuck. they’re picking two 23-juror groups, and it looks like there’s about 46 people here. fufuuuckauskldf
