Re: I'm here at jury selection

I always dread Jury Duty - but, end up having a good experience and meet nice people. For me, the biggest obstacle is having to drive downtown.

Hope you get your wish, Syl.

Re: I'm here at jury selection

Im surprised they allow cellphones while in the process.

I would not mind jury duty if I was in better health and could still drive etc. If healthy I would love to go!

My husband always wants to go and has gotten a paper many times. But when he calls the night before, his number is never listed so he has never had to show up.

I think they should take volunteers because I know others like my husband who would like to serve.

Re: I'm here at jury selection

I don't think serving on a jury is a bad thing and I don't understand why people don't want to do it.

However, if a juror has a bad attitude, doesn't want to be there, I sure as heck wouldn't want them on ANY case. Too many lives could be in jeopardy and that negative juror could have a lasting impact on somebody's life.
