      Bump!

      Currently sitting in the waiting room. The last two times I've been here I haven't even made it past the waiting room. Here's to hoping the third time is the charm. Court room or bust!

              I was on federal jury duty from April - June. Didn't get a single phone call.

                I applaud those of you who want to serve on a jury, I don't. The only time I have been called, I got eliminated by the prosecution. I think they thought my views were to liberal,

                  Ha- I have to go to jury duty in a couple weeks. On the other hand, no way in hell Maricopa County puts me on any jury- no way, no how.

                    Last time I got called in for federal jury duty, I was cut from the lineup.

                    It was pretty funny though. The case was against a dude that had allegedly set up fair sized marijuana garden/farm on federal land in southern Utah. They had all of the prospective jurors ushered into the room to hear the charges and then to stand up and give a spiel on who we were and what we did and whether we had any conflicts of interest. It was at that point that you could see lightbulbs going off all over the place for folks who wanted out of JD. I never heard so many diatribes on the legalization of marijuana in one room in my life. Of course, most of those people were dudes who I assumed were comic book and Doritos connoisseurs by their appearances anyways. Jury duty reminds me of the DMV in a lot of ways.

                        Settled already. They sent us home.

                        And I have meetings I need to attend, so I am heading in to work.

                            I just say I am good friends with a DA. They let me go every time. Bad company I guess.

                              Case dismissed as a matter of law :sad:

                              That was one of the stranger things I've been through. I have no idea how a case like that even gets a sniff of the courtroom.

                                The plaintiff put on its entire case in 3 hours? Or was this a pre-trial motion?
