Jury duty

[escortmad79]

Anyone ever been summoned for jury duty? I got a letter through today!

 

I dislike authority, the police (no offence daggle etc) & the government etc so for me to do jury duty is like giving a strict veggie steak with all the trimmings!!

 

Infact I'd go as far to say I'd rather lick p*ss from a thistle but it's compulsary so have to do it! (The jury duty, not licking p*ss off a thistle!! )

ive never had to do it thank fook.............but there is no way out.....my mate tried everything to get out from doing it....he still had to do it

[Burns]

just go in and do it, what's so bad about it?

[Gonzo]

My old man managed to get out of it TWICE!!! go and put yourself in hospital or something the night before. alcohol poisoning plus a few choice narcotics, job's a good'un.

Dont tempt him with things like that

Oops. Bit late now.

I'll hold you personally responsible if there is any long lasting damage in his bid to get rid of the jury duty

eat loads of allbran the night before.......and get ready for alot running the next day

Might be interesting you never know.

 

Plus, whilst authorities may not score well on your christmas card list. Imagine living without law and order, here's a few examples.....

 

Somalia

Rwanda

Darfur

Si erra Leone

Iraq

Afghanistan

Zimbabwe

 

 

I could go on but I'm sure you get my drift.

 

Next time you get lifted (hopefully never) be pissed at getting caught out but at the same time be grateful for living in a society that is on the whole a law abiding one.

I'm certainly no fan of authority either mate, regardless of who it is, telling me what do to is a big no no

 

BUT, think of it as a chance to help give someone what they deserve, you read about all these crims, and sex offenders walking from court scot-free, well this is your chance to have a part in maybe (if you believe they did it obviousley ) giving a victim somewhere some justice.

[ratman]

I did it years back ended up on a case for 5 weeks

[Smudger105e]

Never done Jury service, but would love to!!

 

One way of getting out of Jury Service is to get a job as a copper, they are exempted, eh Daggs?

Thats an excellent point mate, there's been loads of threads on here lately about the "state of this country" see this as an oppurtunity to do "your bit"

But do remember that it's allways INNOCENT UNTILL PROVEN GUILTY

I would love to do it Only problem is that my boss wouldn't pay me so I would lose out as you can only claim a minimum amount for loss of earnings

[DeuceCoupe]

I have been called twice and got out of it twice as I was pregnant. How luck am I.

[RETRO_AL]

Ive done it,it was the most interesting thing ive ever done

The case was a bit horrid, and they went into very fine detail

[sab6024]

I did Jury Service when I was 23 and I had a Rape case to sit on. The guy got sent down for 6 years It was awful listening to the facts but really really fascinating. I would LOVE to get the chance to do it again. Paid quite well too

 

DO IT...I'll bet you love it

When I did it I got paid what I would have earnt and my mileage on top. Which was a bonus

[escortmad79]

It's £30 odd if it lasts up to 4 hours & £59.95 if it goes over (I earn slightly more than that at work!)

 

I will be sat on the bench, bored out of my tree not paying attention

i got summond to do jury duty 2 years ago, 3 days before the case they rang me and said they had too many jurors coming and asked if i still wanted to do it, so i said no i think they must ask for more than they need incase there are people who cant do it so you still might not have to do it mate

ive been twice and to be honest certain bits are boring but at the same time its quite interesting .

 

the cases ive been on have lasted less than a week but the other people that where there that day got a 8 week trial . no good that .

 

you can claim around 60 pounds a day and travelling expenses .

 

 

if you really really want to get out of it you can go and get a doctors line telling them that you are a really nervous person and couldnt face sitting in the court room .
