I got called for jury duty!

I would like to thank the defendant—a sovereign citizen acting as his own attorney—for making my civic duty so highly entertaining.

1. You're not talking DU jury duty, are you?

I've done plenty of that, but never the "real life" version.

2. Real life jury

Fascinating

3. What was the verdict?

[SeattleVet]

4. Let's see...

'sovereign citizen'; 'acting as his own attorney'....

Any guesses???

5. About what you'd expect

A detail I found funny was that the man told the arresting officers that he didn’t need their service. They arrested him anyway.

6. I appreciate that you did not volunteer, nevertheless thank you for serving.

The jury is the core of our judicial system.

I'm glad it was entertaining.

7. Good job!

Sounds like a crazy defendant. The last time I was called, the trial was canceled, and I came all the way home in time to serve only to find that out. But being called means that we vote...

8. I hope someone named Trump is the defendant.

9. You know, every time I hear some describe themselves as a "sovereign citizen..."

I usually take that as a clue that they were only using that as an excuse to be an asshole.

Sounds like the defendant didn't disappoint.
