I really was hoping to be excused, I'm not sure why they picked me. I'm not exactly some poor black guys peer. One guy claimed it was the defendants job to prove his inocence. He got to go home for being stupid. Lucky bastard. It's almost like being in jail. The cop guys tell you when you can go piss, drink whatever even if you are just sitting there staring at the wall. The only good part so far is the black cop with the eye patch. It's too weird. ![[image loading]](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OvryYdVtfSo/S7KmVm5GHuI/AAAAAAAAFn8/grPqfXoX0cg/s1600/Nick_Fury_Iron_Man_2_Samuel_L_Jackson_picture_black_leather_coat_eyepatch_SHIELD.bmp)  | ||

They don't feed us or give us water. Lol it was terrible. NO water fountains, and you can't bring water inside. On top of that I arrived at 9 to be told we had to come back at 1:30. I was angry at how little they value my time. | ||

If I had a trial, I'd probably pick a judge unless I thought it wouldn't go well. Even a non-stupid person is not trained in the law (I've taken a few case review classes and that probably puts me in the top 1%). Technical arguments aren't going to register with most people. I particularly /facepalmed when someone said he should have testified even after being told 20 times he didn't have to testify. | ||

first was a check fraud case, I told the judge it was an undue hardship for me to serve on a jury in the middle of uni finals. They let me go. second was child sex abuse, the two parties deliberated for a few hours on the first day, told us to come back the next, deliberated for a few more hours, then the defendant decided to plead guilty and we all went home. this last one was only a few months ago, so I should be in the clear for another 2 years (hopefully more) | ||

Of the 4 days we were called in during our month period, I spent around only 12 hours total, getting paid $40 per day. So it kind of paid off. I also had a few books to read and a notebook to write/draw in so I could pass the time. | ||

It seems ridicolous to be forced to do that shizz ._. Both sides dismiss 12 jurors each. Remaining were decided to be unbiased, someone intelligent, and, capable listening. You can try to be excused but if you don't show up you will be arrested for contempt of court. | ||
