After two days of questioning from the DA and the defense, I was NOT seated for a murder trial
I got my jury summons 3 weeks ago, made sub plans for an entire week, and looked forward to serving on a jury.
Was chosen for a jury pannel, endured TWO LONG days of questions and at 4 pm was dismissed along with 29 others.
it seems like they kept all people of color and NO professionals
they kept people that were unemployeed and bar owners and a bailbonds lady
strange choices by far...
I am a bit irritated being dismissed after two long days and I really wanted to serve...I am a government learning junkie and the process is fascinating.
It is a murder trial and there is no body... I guess I will have to watch the news to see how it plays out
AND
I have to go back to work tomorrow...sigh...

7. Well, hell, just kill the principal, claim diminshed capacity, and you'll have a ringside seat.
Problem solved.
Someone doesn't appreciate greenbriar's daily self involvement updates. :-)

sounds like there may be a man of color as defendant...
-
interesting... isn't that the jury leftists want?

I would say it was probably the insane look in her eyes as she pretended to be normal. Or the spazmotic outbursts of "Bush is a murderer too!". Courts try to weed out the socially retarded in jury pools.

Written on the defendant's notepad and shown to his lawyer at jury selection:
"Please don't pick this psycho leftist bitch. I already have some c**t named Melanie sending me naked pictures of herself."

I've been on two juries.
One civil case in Sacramento CA
One criminal case in Columbus OH
I enjoyed it both times.

yup. I'm thinking the DA excused her.
-
During jury seating she was asked if she would support the death penalty, if warranted. She responded no, but she would support Chimpeachment. She was dismissed because no one knew what the hell she was talking about.

If I could H5 the rug primitive, I would, for slapping Melanie down.
-
the excused time off work...
Yeah...God forbid you have to put in your 180 6 1/2 hour days and I have no doubt that is all the time you spend.
No evenings grading papers or makinkng lesson plans like a good teacher does.

H5. That made my morning.

It takes 12 good jurors to hang a man but only one dingbat to hang a jury.
I'm glad she wasn't selected.

This reveals it all.

You learned you're too incompetent to serve as a juror in a murder trial. Take it and run with that.
My guess is she was rejected by the prosecution because they detected she determines guilt or innocence based upon the social circumstances of the individual rather than the facts of the case.

Huh? :o You do realize OJ Simpson is a free man?

Which is exactly why they didn't pick you.
I imagine some of your moobat replies to the questions convinced both sides to remove you as a potential juror as well.

Having just finished up a trial, you are absolutely right.
During the, and DUmmies read this carefully, jury SELECTION process, they weed out dingbats like you. Trust me, there were enough of them on my panel.
