Yup, several times. Chosen once. It was a drug case that lasted a day and a half. Charges were something about intent to distribute or whatever. We found him not guilty. First and only time I saw coke up close. Truly thought it was more granular but it's literally powder. :pachaha:


Fun Fact: My mom uses the "I'm a christian who am I to judge" spiel during voir dire to prevent being selected and it works every time. Lmaooooo

I’m tellin y’all ... if you’re black and you get called and the defendant is black... if you get called to be questioned by the attorneys , you should try to NOT to be excused . I’m telling you , unless you’re in a HEAVILY black populated country, the shortage of black people , especially black men is ALARMING .

THIS

Need to keep shouting this over and over. Don't complain about injustice in the system and then give up your chance to do something about it.

Got a letter for one next week. Was debating on whether to go or not based on this thread but I think I might, just to avoid any issues. Hopefully it's a quick process.

Just attended for the first time today. It really felt like waiting in an airport lounge for a delayed flight. My panel wasn't called, so I just stayed put and read. After the lunch break, they made an announcement that the defendant took a plea deal and we fulfilled our jury duty and could go home :blessed:

It was a civil case, not criminal. After a couple weeks they reached a settlement, thank god. It was the most boring 2 weeks of my life

Twice but first time I wasn’t picked for the jury and the second time the dude plead guilty before the trial.

I’ve never been able to actually sit in on a case.

I went twice.

First one was in college. I was dismissed cuz I knew the lawyer.

The second was someone that caught a body. Second day we were all dismissed cuz dude admitted he killed the person.
