Jury Summons Question

[steele mama]

I have been a citizen of the US for a few (many) years...well, since I was born, and have NEVER gotten a letter in anyway related to jury duty. They don't want me!!!

I assume you're registered to vote?

I just decided which book I will take with me. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier... The Runaway Jury, by John Grisham. :funn:

That will probably work.

They will also sometimes ask if you have a strong opinion about a specific issue. Develop a strong opinion about everything, just in case...

But this worked for me last month. And I was set to be on that one for over a week. I spoke up about EVERYTHING when they asked if any one in the jury pool had strong feelings or knowledge of. But I spoke up and raised my hand to the point I was wondering if they didnt care that I might be poisoning the minds/opinions other jurors. The guy sitting next to me even told me they wouldnt call me "coz you talk too much" Needless to say I wasnt picked and he (who sat there looking interested) WAS Just pick a side and be so vocal that the other side will try their best to make sure you ARE NOT picked.

Ask them if they have a hard liquor and hand gun party at some point

And I never will! I know people who refuse to register so they won't be called for jury duty. We probably don't want those people to vote, anyway.

How about one of Karl Marx's books? Or Mein Kampf? (Did O.J.'s book ever come out?)

I don't know if the OJ book every made it to print, but I can bet you that most lawyers in the Walton County Courthouse, along with the D.A., couldn't name the title of any books of Karl Marx.

I like the idea of picking a side and taking it to the extreme. First, I need to find out what type of case is being heard.
