Greg and I served last year for a week on a domestic
case, each; this one is too. My daughter
served the other year on a murder case.
Have any of you actually performed jury duty
and what was it like for you?
love,
Cindy

I've been called several times, but only actually selected and served once!! I found it very interesting and would certainly be willing to do it again. I am usually "let go" once they know or find out that dh is a lawyer and/or if I know anyone serving as attorneys etc, etc.!! In the one case I was allowed to serve, I did know both attorneys and the judge, but they asked "can you be impartial?" and I said sure! Just because I know the lawyers doesn't mean I can't be fair!!! I suppose someone might have a problem there though. Dh handles some very interesting cases. 90% of his work is defense work in medical malpractice cases......not the lucrative side of the issue mind you, but interesting none the less! Do you like serving on a jury? One thing you learn fast is that the justice system is S L O W !!
Sooze
Let us know if you get picked again this time!

Another case was a young kid claiming the police planted drugs on him. The judge questioned us and when he got to me I told him I felt the kid was guilty. The judge asked me if I couldn't put my feelings aside and make a judgement just on the facts. I told him none of the police in my area know any of my kids names and I would never dream of police planting drugs on them so if this kid was so innocent they wouldn't have planted drugs on him either. My verdict, guilty. I was dismissed.
