One question…
What is the pay for grand jury duty?
I know the ways to “get out of it”, and im just wondering what im in store for here
I wish I could get called.GM pays you the difference that they don’t cover.
D
If its quick and easy, you could be done in a day. But ive seen people get dragged into it for weeks. If you work, you’ll lose money because it dont pay worth the shit.
They will gather you all together in a room, give you a big speech about doin the community a service and “giving back”. Then they will ask for a specific number of volunteers, if enough people raise their hands, you get to go home. But they warn you that you COULD be summoned again…soon. But its a random draw.
I opted to not volunteer, and have my name put back in the pool.
HA I was Just there early this week! Its $40 a Day, If you work that day, Either your employer has to pay you or they will pay you half as well as half from your employer. If you werent suppose to work that day, the state pays it!
Its not So bad though. they now have tv’s there, WIFI!!! And 2 computers that ya can use! "Of course I was going to post that when i was there, but when i was typing that they had computers, My fucking name was called. Go into the lil room and they say, YA Must be here 9am tomorrow to do it again! Oh well right! There was a few hot chicks that had to report again with me and I ended up chillin with them the next day! But hope that helps your question.
Hit me up if ya have anymore questions! I can pretty much answer all of them being i was there for two days and was also selected as a juror for a case.
I had a “friend” from college that ended up doing that for quite a long time. Has it’s ups and downs.
They give you a quick interview sometimes if you refuse to participate. They pretty much make it mandatory. They asked one kid why he couldn’t participate, and he told them something stupid about having to work. They go, "oh well, you need to be here. "
When they asked me why i couldn’t, I told them, “Im racist”, and they let me go, lmao.
BTW. Im not racist.
i was pissed when i had jury duty. At the time i worked overnight, so the state had to pay me for jury duty. I was going to get put on a huge ass lawsuit trial where a bunch of construction workers got hurt on the job. It was going to go on for weeks. But the fucking judge settled it outside of court. I would have gotten like $800-1,000 if it went to trial.
The letter usually assigns you a number if its over 500 (i think) its doubtful you’ll even be called. If you already had a vacation out of town planned (hint hint)they will release you. But if you tell them you are flying they might want to see tickets.
if you got picked for GRAND JURY its a one month term about 3 days a week. it pays 40 a day i had it over the summer. wasnt so bad got to hear about all the murders and drugs and child molesters (sp) and dwi’s and all that fun shit they like to lock people up for and throw away the key.
just start dropping racial slurs lol
it’s BS that they don’t fully compensate you if you’re working :tdown:
