Man at Work Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have been on the panel for the last 6 years (Juvenile Court). I guess we can not bitch about our lax jurisdical system and than chicken out, when we are called to duty. Do it man, and do it good! MaW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummigut Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'll also chime in and do your civic duty. I never was called, but I served my time on call. Imagine if all the smart people wiggled out and only the crap of society was on jury duty. That's not who you'd want in the box in your trial would you? <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusty Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sorry mate,can't be of any help. My only court experiences have been sat on the wrong side of the bench! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibblies Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I did it some years ago. It was supposed to be for an average period of 2 weeks but my group were only there for 4 days before being told that was enough so you might get lucky. Bored as fuck, I passed the time trying to decide which character to be of out "12 Angry Men" (my favourite was the guy who'd vote any way just as long as he could get out to see the baseball ). You could become a vicar or fake mental illness. Either would be likely to disqualify you in the UK anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Trouble is in Australia you don't knw what case you'll be on. You become part of a pool, what happens as a business owner if it's a cout case that drags on for months and months???? Not everyone GETS onto a case by the way, out of the 30, half are gone by day 3. Write a letter asking for eception, if they don;t give it, go along, If asked your views about anything by anyone, make out your a mad leftie who thinks George Bush is soft, and fuck the abo's (sorry) DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBlonde Posted February 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I can't just "go along" as my mortgage alone is over $1000 dollars a week and my business without me there doesn't make a cent.....i don't know why they don't have a pool of people who would be more than happy to do it,and pick from them,instead of picking people out of a hat who are not interested and or too busy.

sayjann Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 i feel different to others here. i have no financial worries if i was away for a couple of Weeks and would love a juicy case to preside over...... being on a Jury which involved the Wests or Brady and Hindley would have been great to sit on and been able to send them to Jail would have been fantastic. but knowing my luck i would be involved in the case of Lusty walking around Kent exposing himself........ pretty boring really as he has nothing much to see.........

Lusty Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 The cases to get on are the ones indicting Mafiosi and prominent gangland members. Hopefully you'll be approached and offered a large wedge of cash to vote for a not guilty verdict. This cash can be put to good use by financing your next couple of sanucking trips:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
