A question from one who's living outside the states and have very little knowledge about your judicial system. I understand from what I have red, in this thread, that every common american can be called upon this Jury duty is that correct??

That is correct. Some consider it a civil duty. it can however be a hardship for some, sinse the monetary allowances are very low.

I have a better way of removing myself from duty. Jury Nulification.

Just say the words, "jury nulification", and you are as good as gone.

GoldenRivet 06-05-09 08:06 PM

several cases i have been called upon to serve involve drunk drivers.

when the judge asks "is there any reason you might not be able to serve in the jury over this case?"

i always say

when i was 17 years old i was hit head on by a drunk driver - he injured myself and my girlfriend and totaled my prize ford mustang... i cannot serve on this jury without extreme bias.

works every time.

I'm suprised that wasn't revealed in the jury questioneer, but every state is different.

How incredibly selfish of this guy (and the rest of you). Perhaps y'all would prefer a system where the state judges your innocence or guilt? Because that is what you are asking for when you duck your duty as a citizen.
