    I know that jury duty is important, but at least choose the people who don’t have to work because they choose to mooch off the system!
    Ok I’m done!
    Maybe I am misunderstanding but you want the people on welfare to decide your fate?

      They go off driver license address now.

      You should be able to mail that back in with correction.
      It has the correct address on it. I am going to call them when I get back in town on Friday. With the way work has been, so far this week...I may beg them to choose me....long term!

        I've showed up several times when summoned, and I've not shown up a few times when summoned. I've been picked to sit on the jury a couple of times, and both times soured me on the system.......mostly because of how much of my time was wasted, on stuff that it seemed to me, should and could have been addressed before the case ever got to court.

          The remainder or the random ones left are the jury.
          Chosen by process of elimination?
          Point being they end up with who they want by eliminating those they don't. Make no mistake, they are chosing them.

            So you think the first random 12 people they come across to sit on the jury? No qualifications except you’re breathing?

              I've been summoned 3 times, but never picked. It can be somewhat a waste of a day (or even longer if picked), but depending on the case, sometimes it's a bit interesting.

              The only thing that peeves me a bit is in Harris County, you pay more in parking fees for the day, than the $10 you get for showing up. I ended up just donating the $10 to some veterans cause or something, but the parking charges should be waived for people called in for their civic duty.

                I have been summoned about 5 times. Served on 2. One made me mad because after being picked, going to lunch, they decided to settle (actually dropped the charges). One was a DWI case (as it turns out his 4th) we found him not guilty due to he followed commands and when distracted by a car driving through the test site went back to the command. The reason they pulled him over is because it was 3am and he was at Burger King and the police officer said nobody goes to BK at that time of the morning unless they have been to a bar.

                  Could you maybe add another tune to your playlist? Kinda tired of having this one stuck in my head for two days every time you rewrite it


                  I’ve been called for jury duty prob 8-10 times over the years. I will say the one year I got picked for grand jury, I enjoyed the experience. Can’t say every case was enjoyable, but was cool to see how it all worked. I asked the DA what they did with people that didn’t show…he said if you couldn’t take the time to show up, he didn’t want you on a jury anyway.

                    I'm not saying that at all. I'm not complaining about the process. I'm just clarifying it.

                      Blame it all on Kyle's toots
                      he showed up in boots
                      And ruined the criminal court air

                      The last one to know
                      The last one to blow
                      He was the last one
                      The bailiff thought he could scare

                      And we saw the surprise
                      And the tears in his eyes
                      When he squeezed his buttcheeks real tight
                      And Kyle pooted two, said judge "you might want to sue
                      Cause you'll never again breathe right"

                      Kyle's got gas in law places
                      Where the cabbage drowns
                      And the beans chases his friends away
                      And he'll be okay

                      He's not shy about polluting places
                      Think he'll squeeze one out and burn the jury's faces
                      Oh, Kyle's got gas in law places

                      Well, I guess I was wrong
                      Kyle just farts out a song
                      But then, he's stunk up TBH before

                      Everything's all right
                      He'll just say goodnight
                      And we'll all fight our way to the door

                      He didn't mean
                      To stink up the scene
                      Just give him a match and then
                      he'll fart in the aisle
                      That'll cause a mistrial
                      All because of the bean

                      'Cause Kyle's got gas in law places
                      Where the cabbage drowns

                              Oh, Kyle's got gas in law places



                              Well, I guess I was wrong

                              Kyle just farts out a song

                              But then, he's stunk up TBH before



                              Everything's all right

                              He'll just say goodnight

                              And we'll all fight our way to the door



                              He didn't mean

                              To stink up the scene

                              Just give him a match and then

                              he'll fart in the aisle

                              That'll cause a mistrial

                              All because of the bean



                              'Cause Kyle's got gas in law places

                              Where the cabbage drowns

                              And the beans chases TBH'ers away

                              And he'll be okay



                              Kyle's not shy about polluting places

                              Think he'll sneak one out and burn the jury's faces

                              Oh, Kyle's got gas in law places
