Jury Duty
 

So.. I have to go sit in a room tommorow cause i was picked for jury duty..

problem is..its my first day of the second semester of class..


So..how bad is it to not show up to jury duty? ;x

just show up drunk

i think they'll throw me in jail dude.. ;x

I'm going to go in there and tell them a bunch of crap so they won't pick me anyways..

just be honest, tell them yer in college and you need to be in class.

You should have been able to get out simply for the reason you have classes. Tell them. I got a letter a few months ago for jury duty and I just called them and told them I had classes and everything was good.

well its not exactly college, its for my apprenticeship.. so i get once class, every other week..

i think i'm just gonna say screw it and not go ;/

You live in California right? Can you say "bench warrant?" Last time i had jury duty the judge was issuing those things left and right to people who were no-shows. Just go down there and let them know you're a student and what your situation is. I'm sure they will be willing to accommodate you. It's the people that totally blow it off that end up in trouble

lol oh shit..guess i'll go :p

Daaam. I have never ever been summoned to jury duty. I would get paid the 12 bucks plus what I missed for the 8 hours pay from work. I would defenately try to play that out for the duration. But getting picked for a serious crime case is ridiculess. You have to be a non news watching person who doesn't read the newspaper, and you can't even talk to anyone who knows anything about the case. ComeOn, Geez. First thing I do in the morning is read the paper.. But I'd still be willing to sit for a few hours, then not get picked cause, I'm informed, and hope they call me back for another round. I can tell if a criminal is guilty just by looking at him.. LOL. :eek:

Lol..ya I guess they have like..work stations..so i'm taking my laptop with me... going to drop in at the apprenticeship hall, drop off my work report, show my homework, schedule a make up day..

And I guess go... sucks, but whatever..
