Sort of interesting that I have been called for Jury Duty only twice in my life ... both this summer. One Federal, one local.
If I were a conspiracy theorist (aka, almost always right), I would think I was being Republicanly targeted.
All good. My group is 5150 (can't make this Sh!t up). I am 6'1 185ish of all kinds of blue eyed devil. Let's goooo!

I've been called three times, empaneled twice and served as foreman once. I didn't see it as a conspiracy other than the fact that they love putting educators on juries.Sort of interesting that I have been called for Jury Duty only twice in my life ... both this summer. One Federal, one local.

We shall see how it goes. Being 6'1 blue eyed and white should auto DQ me ... but who the F@ck knows these days.

Carry a book with the title "Atlas Shrugged." Even if you don't read it, you will probably be excused post haste.

So, you're not smart enough to get out of jury duty?
I kid...my daughter, at age 21, got called. Carped. Complained to the ends of the earth. "Why do I have to do this?"
And she got empaneled. And the (civil) case went to trial.
In the end, she voted against awarding any damages in the case. And came away enlightened as to the value of jury duty.
I have not been on a jury. Maybe because of the books I carried with me.

Helps if you have a Kiwi-Aussie-South African-Euro accent of some kind.See theres your problem, you're 6'1, I'm only 6' and got automatically dq'd

BTW - one of my APs wil be reporting on Tuesday right alongside @Obsidian. I am sure she will be empaneled because a.) they love educators and b) thick south of the border accent (and fluent in Spanish).

I never mess with judges nor the IRS. Everyone else is fair game.
Escaped day one, but I need to call in again today after 5. Worse than waiting on the cable company in the 90's.
I guess they can string me along for up to 5 days.

In voir dire, the answer to "can you be fair in this case" is "If the police arrested him/her/them/it, he/she/they/it must be guilty."

I was sitting behind the defense bench and the Bailiff was next to them.
The court needed a interpreter for the interpreter for the defendant, really.
When it was kinda quiet during the pause, I asked the Bailiff if the defendant was an American citizen.........possibly a little loud, I don't remember. I was dismissed quickley thereafter.

Well, they got me. Headed over to jury duty this morning. 7:45 to 5. I am hoping they kick me right out. Wearing a nice shirt with an American flag on the sleeve, and I have not shaved in two weeks. 
If I get stuck there all day, at least I will have free A/C .... supposed to be 94 over here today.
Today is also the 10th anniversary of taking delivery of my first mountain bike, 09/05/14. Awwww. You never forget your first.

I am ... inexplicably ... a juror in a murder trial. Can't say more than that at this time ... but it should be interesting.
Not sure how I am going to manage work, as I am the only person in my company who does (or even knows how to do) my job. Looks like early mornings, late evenings for a month or so.

I'm guessing they think you'll make an informed and impartial decision. Your post mentioning "inexplicably" kind of implies otherwise though. But I have faith that you'll make a decision based on evidence alone.......I am ... inexplicably ... a juror in a murder trial. Can't say more than that at this time ... but it should be interesting.

Inexplicably, because I legit thought I would be instantly removed. As in first.
I am nothing other than extremely fair and open minded ... so likely one of the best possible selections of all time.
My only objection to jury duty was the work impact. They might finally make me train a backup, aka, "replacement" this time ..like they have been suggesting for years.

Wow, you're much better at keeping it under wraps than I was. I told everyone and anyone about my murder case. I was running my mouth at lunch one day with a friend and I came around a corner and one of the other jurors looks up at me from his coffee and we both just busted up laughing.I am ... inexplicably ... a juror in a murder trial.
