Is jury duty really that bad? Sounds kind of fascinating to me! Lol.

Ugh. Jury duty is the worst! I live in DC so everyone gets called every two years like clockwork. Last time, I had Grand Jury Duty where there is no pre-selection process (i.e., getting off the hook). They don’t ask you any questions; you just show up and start serving. You can imagine the characters that we had in the room. It’s a little different because it’s a larger group, we listened to prosecutor’s witnesses and voted on whether they had enough to charge folks and take it to trial. The very best part was that we were required to show up M-F, 9-5 for FIVE weeks.

I’m the crazy person that loves to serve on juries! *lol* I’ve gotten called 4 times, but I’ve only served once. It was a federal case related to mail and insurance fraud. Loved watching the process work. Case was 4 days and we deliberated for 2. I would love to serve again. I wouldn’t be super happy if it was a murder trial, but I’d still want to be picked.

I had jury duty in april. wasn’t selected. It wasn’t anything serious or interesting. It was rumored they weren’t choosing “educated” people…..I’m a grad student in a college football town. So that left most of the local yokels. Got paid 5 whole dollars for my time.

No, no jury duty stories. I’m still technically a Georgia resident (?) and whenever they used to send stuff, I said I would be in school for 5 more years. It’s worked twice.
I did some nonprofit work with death penalty cases in Atlanta. That is the most taxing shit you can ever do. You DO NOT want that stress. NOT. NEVER. NO.
