If you get called tell em personally know the defendant and wouldn't have a non-biased judgment

Or just get out of it by telling them you can't make it because on that day you have to wash every single one of your hairs individually. I don't know. It's fairly easy to get out of. 😅
Naw, just do it. It's such an important thing to have real folks who've done real shit on a jury. Please, please get selected and pay attention. My profession is utterly broken and we need solid juries.
I guess this is just me personally, but I have a hard time participating in a justice system that I find fundamentally broken.
It's where I mine my fiat. I don't fault you for feeling that way, but only by participating can we help ameliorate further suffering until we get the new system.
That's a fair point. If and when I get called again, I might participate next time. The case my roommate participated in recently was kind of interesting and I learned some interesting shit about city security systems after the case was done.
I got called 6 months after my 18th birthday, sat through a .07 DUI trial for a guy who was out of town and didn't use a blinker. I had to convince a bunch olders through a migraine it was still technically legal and I wasn't even drinking then.
I got summoned again recently but didn't have to sit on a trial. Thank fucking shit.
