I just took six years of a man’s life.
   
Criminal district court Ft Worth, TX. Theft with priors, 2-10 years and a fine of up to $10,000.

Yes he was guilty, so said we all. But I was Foreman and it was my signature that certified the sentence.

It is an awesome and humbling thing.

I will probably not sleep tonight.

I thought the DUmbasses promoted catch and release for all criminal types?

2. Don't think about it
   
This guy dug his own grave and now he has to sleep in it.

3. You didn't take years of his life. He did that by making poor choices.
   
Thank you for your jury service. I've always found it to be rewarding and interesting.

5. Been there. Not a good feeling, even when you feel it was the right decision.
   
It happened to me over a decade ago and I still wonder about the guy. There's time when being a bleeding heart liberal is a real pain in the ass.

Especially after the third butt plugger has had his way with you.

19. Bingo. 2 years ago they picked me for a murder trial
   
and it was pretty close. The DA's office did NOT do a very good job IMO (and others on the jury), but they DID fine ONE piece of consistent evidence that allowed me to feel OK about a 2nd Degree verdict. I'm sure the guy still got 20+ years though and yep, I STILL think about it.

18. A bunch of thieves cheering the lock up of another thief.

I know there are about three DUers who don't illegally download music, so those three can cheer away without being hypocrites.

WTF???

20. Sometimes citizenship can be an awesome responsibility. Thanks for doing your duty.

I've never once served jury duty. I've been called only one time, in the 80s, but it conflicted with a trip to South America. I wrote a letter to the court, I think to the bailiff, explaining my problem. A few days later I got a letter back excusing me from showing up. Even if I served, the chance I'd be seated on a jury is virtually nil. I'd never be viewed favorably by the defense.

I served for four weeks one time. It sucked. At least my company still paid my salary.

While I was studying for the bar many years ago, I was summoned twice for jury duty.  I was challenged off a criminal jury, but much to my surprise was not challenged off a civil one.  Fortunately it was a one-day trial, I ended up being the foreman.

I've been called 4 times and served on the jury 3 times.  Only one time did it require sentencing someone and we gave him 5 years.  None of us felt bad in the slightest.

I've just been called to the Grand Jury.  I don't know if I'll be picked for it or not but I think it would be an interesting experience and definitely different from regular jury duty.

I was called twice, once was when I watched three kids everyday so I didn't have to do it. The second time I totally forgot about it, I was afraid for months that if I were pulled over for a traffic stop that the coper would get me.  :o

A relative on the spousal units side of the family was recently called up for jury duty.  This person is a flaming lib.  They have been called multiple times, but never had to serve, due to claiming a diabetes exemption.


This time, the summons required a doctor's note to be excused for any medical reason.  Since this person spends all of their money on things like cable, iphones, gambling, etc, no money is available for health insurance.  They are going to send the summons back in, claiming medical exemption, but without the required medical note from the doctor. 

How, do you ask, do they intend to claim medical exemption without the required note?  By including a letter stating that due to the terrible shape of our medical system, it has resulted in them not being able to afford a doctor to get a note. 

I'm awaiting the results with due sense of anticipation.  :-)

I thought "the ONE" and Belapelosi fixed all that in 2009?  If I was this court clerk, I'd send a letter back to them, stating that fact, and give them one week to show up voluntarily, or in handcuffs.

I've never been called for jury duty, but I doubt if I'd make the cut. 
All I'd have to do is claim to be a "Dittohead" and I'd be out the door almost before I came in.   :lmao:

Dawg, I think you meant "Objective" there.  Pretty humorous as it reads now, though!

I've served several times, and loved it every time.

I NEVER lost sleep over the 2 scumbags (two different trials) I helped put away.

Done it once.  Unfortunately I was an alternate.  Why did it suck?  Because the jury went the other way of what I would have wanted it.
