I'm part of the jury system in and it's so much cooler than the American one. 1) We actually WANT to be jurors 2) We get paid like $200 per day 3) Most cases aren't jury trials at all; they're chaired by two civilians and one judge (in city court), so you ACTUALLY have direct influence on the decisions 4) gently caress off

I was arrested for marijuana possession years ago and the victim of a violent crime so I am pretty sure I won't be serving.

During the jury selection process I was in some genius, when the judge asked if anyone thought they were unfit to be a juror, said he was unfit because he loved prostitutes and "made use of their services weekly." He was excused.

I thought I'd get out of jury duty by saying I hate cops and that I'm racist. Then I was in the courtroom and the defendant was a big black dude who was being tried for stabbing two people, one in the neck, with a beer bottle outside a strip club. Looking straight at me. I peed. I complied. Then the trial was delayed so I went home. TLDR, ain't no ez way out.

Drink Cheerwine posted:tell everyone you can about jury nullification How often does jury nullification happen in the states and how batshit does the judge get when it happens? In Ireland there was a fairly high profile white-collar fraud case where the judge literally directed the jury to give a not guilty verdict for one of the defendants(though the evidence was pretty poor tbf). When the other two defendants were convicted the judge moaned about how they were led astray and then he gave them community service. I'd imagine if a jury ever pulled jury nullification here for a serious case we'd have non-jury trials for everything within a week.

I liked jury duty at first, I spent a solid week lounging around instead of working. The second week I got a trial where most of the other jurors were all "ha ha I can't concentrate for that long I think I'll just say not guilty!" and I lost all faith in the jury system.

I served jury duty for a day and a half on a case where both attorneys repeatedly promised us that we'd be out in no more than a day. The prosecuting attorney was still presenting her case at 3:30 PM the second day of the trial when we all suddenly got pushed into the jury room for half an hour or so. The judge had a flight to catch and was apparently pretty pissed that the case was still going on. The defendant wound up pleading to two misdemeanors instead of the four felonies he was charged with. I think he got time served (the evidence was pretty lovely and I think he'd been awaiting trial for about six months?) or a suspended sentence so not a bad deal all things considered, but at least four of us on the jury were pretty set on the prosecution having presented a really lovely case. Two white lawyers and a white judge slapped a young black man with two misdemeanors so a judge wouldn't miss his plane. I'm pretty sure I'll never have to serve on a jury again after that. e: But I did get to see a paper grocery bag filled with the remains of a cannabis plant so it was cool seeing more weed than I'll ever see again in my life I guess

So I was seated to be a juror and as predicted, I was dismissed by one of the attorney's on their freebie dismissal. I hope that the spanish drunk driver dude was able to get a fair trial from the white lady who scoffed about the city we were in and how lovely and ghetto it is and the rest of the white bread suburbanites that ended up on the jury.
