I did not get called up to sit on a jury yesterday, so totally bored out of my brain during the day. I get to go in again today, and being so late in the week, I have to wonder what chance I have of doing something useful today or tomorrow. We'll see! Have a great day! Ray

Update:

I was rejected. The case involved the rape of an 8 year old child. The testimony would have been heart rending for me. I'm back in the "jury pool" waiting to be called as a potential juror.

Oh, no reason given to be rejected....

Ray

I could sit on a case like that only if the death penalty was an option.

DonnaH_again Ex Member	Re: Jury Duty Reply #31 - Aug 18^th, 2008 at 6:15pm Well, now it's my turn. I got notice today 8/18, that I am to call for jury duty Tues. 9/2. Not much time between notice and attendence, eh? I have the option to go on line (or call) (or write) and select another date in incriments of 30-60, 60-90, 90-120 or 120-180 days in the future. That's the first time I've seen this choice.

Dear Clusterville:

I can only speak about Franklin County Ohio, but...

The jury pool is called based upon registered voters. Yep, I am one. It seems to be a random "seeding" into the pool, some people who are in the pool have only lived here for a year or so, others have lived here all their lives and only been called once.

Regarding a convicted felon, if they're allowed to register to vote, (not sure, but I believe so), they would get called in my county. During the "voir dire" process (interviewing the potential jurors for a given case) it would come out that they were a felon and be "excused"....

There is a former narcotics lieutenant that I've become friendly with in the jury pool. They keep "excusing" him as well.

Even though I've yet to hear a "real case", it has been an excellent lesson in civics. I hope to hear how the verdict of the rape case comes out tomorrow as the jury is in deliberations....

Ray

Hello Clusterville:

Odds are today will be my last day of jury duty. With each passing minute, the odds are increasing that they won't call me again as a prospective juror. Most of the time, people who are on their 2nd week here are dismissed right after lunch time on Thursday, unless they are already in a jury.

Wishing you all well,

Ray

Too bad you didn't get seated on a jury, I've heard it can be quite the experience. Guiseppi (who is exempt from jury duty cuz they think I can't be unbiased!)
