[haydukelives]

Just say"I believe they are guilty until proven innocent"

just got a summons to serve yesterday, my fourth since moving here over 15yrs ago
mrs acinpdx has never once gotten summoned
i kinda enjoy doing it, but it's still a pain to do at the expense of being billable
at least they give me $10/day as payment for my time

My work pays us for jury duty. Maybe join a union.

US Govt sued the AIA under Sherman anti-trust act a while back...I don’t think architects are unionizing anytime soon

Jury Duty

Checking in, required to arrive at 8am. Listening to a bunch of idiots talking about all the reasons THEY shouldn’t have to be here. Shut up bitch none of us want to be here, your undiagnosed“mild anxiety” is no excuse.

2 hours later, still no word on selection.

Just wear a Black Lives Matter shirt and you'll be out of there challenged for cause pretty quickly.

Fuck, I think my pass expires soon from last time I served

Terrible experience. Surrounded by people too dumb to follow along with DA talks, constantly confused about everything.

Good news it was grand jury so it went on all summer

Have fun. Report back.

Had a friend get seated on a murder trial. Guy killed one of his homeless buddies, then cut out his tongue so he couldn't talk. Defense was he was not mentally competent to understand his actions. Friend on the jury said they decided he was mentally incompetent, but decided to convict him so he would go to prison and get help. They didn't understand that had they followed the law, he would have been sent to a mental facility to get help rather than into the general population of a prison.

How did they not understand that? That’s some pretty basic and easy to comprehend shit that almost anyone that has watched a few law and order episodes or read some John Grisham novels should know, never mind instructed as a jury.

I just got a notice last week that I need to show up January 24th for Jury duty. I’ve been called a lot over the years. Most cases are dismissed. I’ve appeared at the court house three times, and I was called up once. I mentioned that one of the defenses’ witnesses had been my tenant and I didn’t think I could believe his testimony, and I was dismissed. The guy and his buddies absolutely trashed my rental house. No point to be made here other that I have jury duty soon

I woulda kept my mouth shut and tried to fuck the guy but that's me.
