Ran across this in a FB humor group. Now I'm not actually suggesting that you should try it, but I know guys like Hop would do so.

If any of you actually pull this one, let me know how it goes

****************************

Juror: "Excuse me, may I ask a question?"

Attorney: "Go ahead"

Juror: "Is jury nullification still a choice?"

Both attorneys: "Motion to dismiss the juror!!"

Judge: "Juror, you're excused. Please leave the courtroom."

in my case the defense atty. asked why we thought we would be a good juror, dude was up on felony gun charge and some other bad stuff.

told them I am a staunch supporter of the second amendment and would look at all the facts prior to making a decision, they didn't like it so adios mf'r. roflmao

I will never have to serve on one now, gonna be too old next time around, or dead. grin

I got a registrations summons for Federal Jury duty. I guess I will be heading to Good Will to get me a sport coat and some Dockers to wear. I will wait to see if I actually get called.

Constantly ask the people around you 'what did they say?' then tell them you have difficulty hearing and don't have a hearing aid.

I was just there three weeks ago and only got $6! Closest place for lunch was Jimmy John’s and a regular sandwich and drink was $12.
