 The truth about jury duty is the government deliberately makes it a lovely, stressful experience to increase the chances of the jurors becoming bitter and hitting the defendant with a guilty verdict out of spite

Jury duty is awesome. Just pretend it's an episode of Law and Order. Just don't make the mistake I did and yell "DOINK DOINK" every time something cool happens.

When I did jury duty they had no problem with people using electronic devices in the waiting area, just not in the actual courtroom. I brought my laptop and just turned it off and stowed it in its bag when it was my turn to go in the courtroom.

I did jury duty a few months ago (it's much more strict in the UK, you actually have to do it unless you can provide a really compelling reason why you can't) and I just shot the poo poo with my fellow jurors. I also brought in a couple lil boxes of brownies for everyone so they made me the foreman lol I got to deliver a not guilty verdict

So I am on a jury. Not allowed to talk about it though because it is some serious poo poo.

I remember some relatively high-profile murder case a few years ago where they had to remove a juror (might've even caused a mistrial?) because she deliberately did poo poo the judge said not to do while they were on weekend break.

i had to do jury duty recently. some guy was puking in the bathroom and then came out and sat back down and awaited an opportunity to decide a stranger's fate, that was pretty cool. also there was a bunch of public manga in one of the book shelves.

When I was in jury duty the winter before last I was in this little "Breakfast Club" group that hung out and did puzzles and caused trouble. It was seriously just like that movie except we weren't teenagers and there was less angst. And more puzzles and craziness. And I met this hassidic jewish guy who was pretty cool.

When the judge asked me if I thought police officers were more truthful or credible witnesses than civilians I said no and they dismissed me pretty quickly. We also had a cool coffee stand near the waiting room so it wasn't that bad. Have fun OP
