Jury Duty options?

[P35]

No weapons.

Is my swiss army knife a weapon?
I hate sitting for hours at a time.
I hate downtown Tulsa.
I DO have a Gladsden flag "don't tread on me" t shirt.

I had jury duty a few months ago & was surprised to find that laptops are allowed & they have free wifi. You could keep us posted every step of the way!

Thanks for passing along the good news about wifi. Kind of surprising they could be that enlightened.

I've heard it said that the weakness of our justice system is that your fate is determined by 12 people who were too stupid to find a way to get out of jury duty.

Being a psychologist, I have virtually no chance serving on a jury. The attorney's are way too uneasy seeing someone like me evaluating tactics and fear of toying with jury dynamics. Kind of sad not to even have an option to serve (for the most part)

George Carlin offered the best suggestion: Tell the judge you'll make a great juror, as you can spot guilty people just by looking at them.

Love it.

You never know... you might seem like the defendant's best chance at a "not guilty" in some cases.

I sat on a jury in Tulsa county once. It wasnt too bad. The only problem i had was the other jurors werr too lenient. The guy was guilty and the best they would do was the minimum sentence. I have no use for criminals. If they are guilty of a crime they should pay the maximum sentence. Especially repeat offenders.

Just tell them the defendant is your cousin.....LOL!......on a serious note, NO weapons of any kind.

A possibility, but a psychologist will be one of the first ones voted off by either the prosecutor or defendant's attorney. In short, they would find a psychologist too unpredictable.
