Jury Duty - GoFuckYourself.com

Got me some jury duty today.

Why the fuck do people NOT want to go to jury duty?

I look at it as a chance to get one back for the people!

I can already tell you we're gonna have a hung jury unless the guy is a rapist/psycho/pedo.

The fucking prosecution is going to have to have an airtight motherfucking case if they are gonna get me to convict. I think 90% of cops are crooked and 99% of prosecutors are zealots who can do no wrong. Well it is our job as citizens to make SURE that power is checked in the strictest sense.

Of course the above is NOT what I will be writing on my questionaire. Under that part where they ask you what bumper stickers you have I'm gonna put 'I love cops!'

My wife has to appear today for selection of a jury pool. I don't want her to be a member of the pool, for multiple reasons, so I told her to say that as far as she is concerned everyone is guilty or the police would not have arrested them and in addition all criminals should be put to death.

I think that should keep her out of the pool.

That's not gonna get you on a jury either.

I know dude, I'm not retarded. I'm just gonna sit there and watch and try and read the selection process. I'm excited cos this is the first time I've ever been called and then actually gotten to show up.

I got called up this month and got an exemption for being self employed. Fucked if I'm sitting on wooden benches for a month.

Jury selection is kinda fucked in Australia anyway. Potential jurors get knocked back firstly on appearance. And then they are asked if there is any reason they couldnt be impartial, thats all there is to it.

When I got assigned to jury duty, I just told 'em I couldn't afford to take time off work. I never heard anything again...so I assume I'm in the clear.

When they ask you questions before jury duty, tell them you hate cops, jews, and ******s. You will be excused from jury duty.

My wife left about thirty minutes ago to go to Jury pool selection. It often is an all day ordeal.

Don't be so sure.

I was excused twice for this reason...and it was true, I was flat broke. But the second time I asked to be excused they let me pass but then 2 weeks later I got another letter in from them telling me my two excuses were up and I had to go.

I was in the pool all day long and wasn't selected for any trials though.
