Having watched that Keanu Reeves/Al Pacino movie I know jury selection is what makes a lawyer valuable.

Ive always assumed that celebrities have lower moral standards than the general public. Obviously not everyone feels that wat, but not sure why even dumb people would think they wouldn't be capable of this kind of thing.

I wasn't suggesting that I had or would state that. I was suggesting these as slam dunks for Jmakin to get out of jury duty. While the first 2 are complete fabrications the third has gotten me out of jury duty 3 times. The defense attorney asks if you are a member of any group or social club. The answer of " Yes I am a lifetime member of the NRA and the Tripoli Rocketry Association." And the attorney yells " Next ! "

So truly all I am pointing out that I have massive peen issues as I like things that are long and cylindrical that shoot stuff out.

But then. Don't we all?

It's quite sad the fanfare celebs get.

I get dismissed from jury duty as soon as they hear my mom's a retired police officer.

This depends on jurisdiction or the lawyers involved. Last time I got called I wasn't dismissed for having been in law enforcement. I was dismissed for having a close family member murdered (at jury selection for a murder). The cop thing didn't seem to phase them at all.

just tell the court that as an ACist, you're fundamentally and morally opposed to the trial process, that the defendant is always the victim of an oppressive state, and therefore you can never, in good conscience, return a guilty verdict against anybody.

if that doesn't get you snap dismissed, idk what else would

that's way too stressful.

I'm a bucket full of anxiety, i know it's not rocket surgery to get out of, but I really don't want to serve but there's honestly no good reason why I shouldn't. I'm available and I have nothing going on. I just really resent the fact that I have to waste a day of my life driving down to butt **** santa ana at 7 in the morning for a broken ass system that can't even convict zimmerman, OJ, or this ****ing rapist cosby. I'll say that if given an opportunity, I'm under oath I assume.

When a jury tells the judge they are hung, does the judge have any clue of how hung they are?

Like does he know if it's 6-6 or 10-2?

Because obviously if it's pretty even, it's hopelessly hung, whereas if it's just 1 or 2 people hanging it, there is actually hope of reaching a verdict.

Although it's uncommon, there have been cases where a jury said they were hung and the judge ordered them to keep deliberating and they did actually reach a verdict eventually.

I'm not a lawyer or judge, but to me it seems rather inappropriate for a judge to ask the jury how hung they are. Especially with all the transgender people these days. Sometimes you can't even tell who's packing and who's not.

I got a jury summons once. I threw it away and never showed up. No one ever contacted me further or anything.

I felt like I had some plausable deniability that I ever got it, because I'd just moved and the letter had my old address on it. I only got it because the new apartment was in the same neighborhood as the old one so I had the same mailman and he was nice enough to deliver my mail that had the old address on it.

The judge did not know. They gave no indication on which way they swung or what the score was.

I only got notice 1 time. I showed up and it was a child that slip and fell in a store and the mother was suing. The lawyers didn't like me and dismissed me. I got my $10 or whatever it was. Woohoo.

If I remember right. After they passed on me I had to report back to the lobby and see if they wanted me to go into another trial to be a possible juror, but luckily it was late and that said go home.
