Jury Duty
« on: November 30, 2007, 07:21:03 AM »
I was talking with a attorney about my experience being selected to go on jury duty but then not getting on a jury (for me, a good thing). He said I didn't get selected beacause I'm a Headshaver. He said that it's very evident from my shadow that I'm a Headshaver and that attorneys don't select Headshavers because they tend to be free and independent thinkers and cannot be easily led around by an attorney's argument.  5t*mp

Has anyone experienced this? Judging by the banter on this site we are a more independent thinking group. The moral of this story is: Don't like jury duty? HeadBlade! O0

Dude, that's awesome!  I know we have a few attorneys here.  Any of you concur with Ben's attorney?

Now I REALLY want to get called up for jury duty ...

A clergy collar is supposed to be a quick way to get booted, but add to that a bald head ...

I've never been called up, but I'd sure like to see how long I last!

Thats funy.  A little over a month ago i was selected to go to jury duty, So i thought if i had a freshly shaven head i would'nt be selected for a case.  Man, was i wrong! I was selected for a 3 day case. But to be honest with everyone it was interesting.

I totally missed this thread!!!!
That happened to me.  :Xo! The pool of potential jurors was about 50, and there were only 10 left when I was called. The case was relatively simple and wasn't going to last more than a couple of days. After I told them who I was and what I did for a living, the prosecutor immediately dismissed me. I was very surprised by this and was bummed given that I truly wanted to serve.

Maybe there is some serious credence to this shaved head/free thinker thing.

well I was selected for jury duty and was sly. I got called up for a case and was let go due to the criminal justice degree and having to many cop buddies :popo (one who was a witness in the case) I guess it payed to know alot of people!

I've always found that acting like I have turrets syndrome and yelling
out "DOUCHE BAG" and other offensive words gets me off every time!   O0




P.S.  I'm just kidding!
