Title: I just received my very first jury duty summons
Post by: bagman on May 24, 2009, 03:32:07 PM: Ugh.

What if I get selected and I have to help decide life or death for somebody in a criminal trial?
What if the facts don't point to a conviction, but the character of the defendant is horrible and they're a completey unmoral person? (Been convicted in the past for similar things.)
What if I am the lone person in the jury who causes a "hung jury" and thus a mistrial?

Have any of you been selected and if so was the case interesting? Did you have to decide the fate of somebody's life?

Nah. Tell them a lie. Tell them you want to kill whitey.

Ahhh, the truth.

I've never been selected. YAY me!
