They let you bring your phone to jury duty? Calling BS, youre not really there. I was a juror down in Detroit a few years ago. It was about a guy that didnt pay his child support on his teenage daughter. Anyways she got gunned down in a park or something a few years prior. We told that guy to pay up.

Juries are generally made up of the dumbest motherfuckers from selection who couldn't find a way to get out of it. Blah blah blah civic duty blah blah blah. Pay me the same thing I make at work and I may actually give a poo poo.

Lol we have no jury trials in Argentina, here the judge decides whether you're guilty and if you're rich or have rich friends in good standing with a judge or two, you're basically untouchable (unless your case gathers lots of media attention). I've seen this happen literally in front of my eyes. - Rich dude: "hey what's up judge A, this guy you're gonna judge is a friend of mine, he didn't know what he was doing, make sure you take it easy on him okay?" - Judge: "okay, sure no problem, I'll see what I can do, by the way, when are we gonna meet again for a barbecue? It's been long (this is p. much slang for 'when are you gonna pay me for this?' or 'you owe me a favor now' I guess)"

do your duty and be as braindead as possible just in case you get put on a felony drug trial and don't say a loving thing about jury nullification until you have to deliberate and then plant your rear end down and refuse to convict. Be a good person, thanks.

don't prosecutors/lawyers get to pick the dumbest most impressionable people to accept as a jury in the US or am I mistaken like literally if you have your own business and/or have some sort of 'intellectual' occupation like, say, an engineer they don't want you on the jury

jury duty is the worst you have people who are sane and make rational choices you have people who just want to go home and will vote which ever way wins you have people who are completely insane and will shout anyone down who is against their opinion and will cause a hung jury no matter what is being tried you have people who are just too dumb to even understand what is being presented to them and you need to spend hours explaining everything to them two, three, four, ten times because they keep mixing everything up you lose days of your life well into every night gently caress that poo poo

I sat in a jury selection pool for an accused kiddie diddler (I don't think it was Aatrek) and was full of noble ideals about judging this man fairly despite the horrific revulsion I would feel while witnessing evidence and victim testimony, but then everybody got sent home because nobody would tell the defense lawyer "sure I could consider a probation sentence for a man who I just convicted of literally raping an 8 year old" I was like... I could consider probation hypothetically if he was mentally ill or otherwise undeniably unable to control his behavior, but any factor that would mitigate my sentence would have also made me vote to acquit so the defense lawyer's question was really just a bullshit stall tactic that wasted a day I should have spent on the Internet instead.
