... should ask the judge to let them consult with the defense to shorten the trial and let them get back to stuff.

2. I had jury duty last month

I got drafted and served. We all had to watch a 20min video discussing “bias” and how it can effect your decisions.

Wish I had a copy because everything the court told not to do the repukes have done it so and much more.

I reject this social contract. If one is above the law then we all are.

3. I got papers a month ago to fill out for jury duty.

Said I could be subpoenaed anytime until April. If I get a subpoena I'm going to ask the judge if the government doesn't have to comply to a supernova then why should I have to? Does that make them better than me?

4. We go to jury duty ecause we want the biggest and best pool to deliver justice, if I am ...

ever a defendant in a jury trial, that's exactly what I would want: a large pool of ready and willing potential jurors.

I thoroughly was satisfied by my experience on a jury and look forward to more of it.

5. I wouldn't look forward to it in my town.

I live in a very red area and don't agree with most things people around here say or do. I sure don't want to be stuck in a confined space with them.

6. Think of it as an opportunity. Really.

You might be the one who keeps an innocent person out of jail. Or, you might be the one who convinces a civil jury to award damages to someone who was harmed by another.

One person on a criminal jury can essential override 11 others and cause a mistrial.

Never shirk jury duty. It's a huge responsibility we all have and may at some point need.

7. If the defendant were blue and innocent you just might be his only hope.
