Today was my big day in court, awake all last night with excitement wondering what kind of case i would be on the Jury for, would it be a murder or even an armed robbery? or would it be a big jewel hiest.
With butterflies in my stomach i left early this morning just to be sure i would get there in time hoping beyond hope that i would be one of the few who would be selected.
I entered the court house and headed straight for the reception to report in, the lady there scanned my citation for what seemed like hours before looking at me with a smile on her face " you can go home" she said "you are not required anymore".
Let Down of the Century.........jimmy
That happened to me once, only I didn't get as far as the court.
I now know the meaning of surplus to requirements lol.....jimmy
Never mind, at least you didn't have to sit through some very boring trial..or, held up in a hotel because the mafia were after you.
thanks lol i feel a lot better now.....jimmy
My great grandfather was called for jury service, and couldn't get out of it, even though he was deaf, so couldn't hear a thing.
I've never gotten further than receiving a letter to check my address in case I might get called to jury duty.
I had a friend who did it and ended up sitting in a room for 2 days before being told to go home.
I was supposed to attend on monday but after calling the jury line on Sunday night and being again told i wasnt required they asked me to attend today instead lol just to rub salt into the wound that i wasnt wanted lol.....jimmy

These stupid New York City jury people won't leave me alone! I served my time last year, right around Christmas, and was told that we're exempt for two years. But lo and behold, a summons came for me today, almost exactly a year later. They have it set up so you can inform them if you qualify for...

People within and outside of the US government have debated on the issue of whether young adults of the ages of about 18-22 should be have a mandatory one year period of community service that they must complete. Do you think this should be required of young adults or not? Why?jacob
