    They must be reaching hard for people to serve.

      I would love to serve on a jury. I've been called only a couple or three times but never have I been selected. (I'm beginning to develop a bit of a complex at this point.)

      I'd be curious to know what it is about me that they think renders me incapable or unwilling to deliver a fair and equitable decision because, IMHO, nothing could be further than the truth. In MY opinion, anyway. Humbly speaking.

        Hangin' round the jury room by myself
        And I had so much time
        To sit and post about myself

        And then there she was
        Like legal cherry pie
        Yeah there she was
        Like plea bargain superfly

        I smell sex and cornbread here
        Who's that lounging in the foreman's chair
        Who's that casting felonious stares
        In my direction
        TBH this surely is a dream
        TBH'ers this surely is a dream
        TBH I had way too many beans

        Hangin' 'round at the courtroom by myself
        And I've been postin' 'bout myself

        And then there she was
        In pantsuit double suede
        Yeah there she was
        Like prosecutorial lemonade

        I smell sex and appeals here
        Who's that sleeping in the judge's chair
        Who's that casting misdemeanor stares
        In my direction

        TBH this surely is a dream
        Jury pool this surely is a dream
        Verdict
        Bailiff/reporter/nosy lady this surely is a dream

        I smell sex and gavels here
        How'd they pick me for this chair
        And who's that casting gang member stares
        In my direction?

        TBH this surely is a dream
        Dig it
        Your honor this surely is a dream
        Incompetent defense this surely is a dream
        Weak prosecutor this must be my dream

            Had Franklin County jury duty yesterday.
            Am guessing around half showed up. I was number 116 and the number 13 pick was around fourth person in front of me.

                They used to go off registered voters.

                They go off driver license address now.

                You should be able to mail that back in with correction.

                  People who dodge jury duty **** me off.

                  I hope you are never accused of a serious crime you didn’t commit, and need some honest people to hear your side….or maybe I hope you are…

                    You could have developed a well detailed spreadsheet on discussion topics. They missed out

                        I got a summons again a few weeks ago. It's been two years without getting one. But not selected for the Jury this time. Before that, I got a summons 12 of 13 years. I'm thinking about changing my name and asking for a new DL number.


                        Started saving all my past registration request several years ago. Got a stack of them on the bulletin board. I did serve on Jury one time, many years ago. Most of the time, it gets cancelled before having to go in.

                            Grand jury is a lot of fun. Get to hear all about the case and send it to the petit jury or no bill them. LOL!

                              I have served twice, once I was the jury foreman and convicted a drunk driver. It was scary HOW MUCH his lawyers had thrown out of the case that WE would never hear the entire story. The judge came in after the guilty verdict and told us THANK YOU for finally getting this guy convicted. He was a Chief Financial Officer for a large company and had the best lawyers to always cover up his drinking issues.

                              Gotcha, you showed them

                              I have not been contacted for that opportunity but my dad served in that role. He really enjoyed it!

                                Served on jury one time on a drug possession case. When case when to jury first thing we did was take a vote and it was 11 to 1 guilty. Took about 30 minutes to convince the 1 juror to change his vote. Turns out this thug had about 10 prior convictions for drug possession but they couldn't tell us that information.
