1. Have you been called to serve?

3. If so, did you use any tactics so that you would not have to serve?

I was called to serve a few years ago. Since I didn't live in the area anymore, I was dismissed.

I remember my mother's students told her to pretend as if she were catching imaginary butterflies so she would not have to serve.
I was called for jury duty twice. Once in municipal court and the other in superior court.

The first case was a robbery on the Mexican border case. I felt it was BS since NO BODY was a legal United States citizen who was the plaintiff OR defendants... But I kept my mouth shut. And we arrived toward a verdict...

The other case was total BULLISHT!!!

Dude was an old fart, homeless, Vietnam vet, with a metal plate in his head and African American...

I guess he decided that he did not want to pay the $$$$gazzillions of dollars for his pain pills and took his little chump change to pay for crack instead...

At night, he was walking along the city streets as a cop car rolled past him, then the car turned around, pulled up beside him and the police, one Black and one Other (I can't remember right now)--asked if they could talk to him... The cops said that as they turned the car around, they noticed the dude go into his pocket, put something in his mouth and spit it out...

Anyhoo, the dude said "Yeah, I'll talk to you..."

Well, besides, "BEEP, wrong answer..."

Dude got locked up and put in jail and it looked like a 3rd strike case...

I was the FOREMAN!!! Don't ask...

At any rate, the jury came to a verdict and nailed the guy... The cops were doing their job... Dude was in the wrong... Too bad he's going to prison on 3rd strike... I'da kill him on the street...

But I dayum sho made that jury stay throughout the weekend on that case to make sure they made up their minds to nail this guy...
