stinking jury duty
Well, a month ago, I got a letter saying I was selected for 2009 jury duty. A couple of days ago, I got another letter saying that I am expected to appear for jury selection on Jan. 5th and to call the night before. What the heck can a guy do to get out of this crap. I never used to register to vote so I didn't have to go through this crap, but South Dakota changed from registered voters to registered driver's licenses this year.
I want to see guilty people pay for their crimes and all, but not if it is going to cost me $200-300 per day (work lost). Not to mention it's not like I have vacation days being self employed. Josh |
That sucks a big one:argh::madd: Since your self employed I would think that will get you out of it. Can't run a business from a court room.:booo:

Believe it's the same way with a subpoena to. :humm:

Just got a call telling me that they settled out of court, but there is another one for the 13th. I think it has something to do with a guy pleading guilty to a dui for having the keys in his hands, but the judge wouldn't accept the plea. WTF?? Oh, well. I'll tell them about me being a sole proprietor for my business. No worky= no food for my family. And I will tell them my outright BIASED opinion.

:humm:tell em your a racists lol
black white purple you hate em |
Lovely. Got a call today saying I have to call Wednesday night to see if I need to go in and the wife asked how we are supposed to pay our bills since I am the sole provider and the lady told her that even if it will make me lose my house, I have to serve. Only thing I can do is write the judge a letter.
I found on the web somewhere that one of our judges wouldn't even excuse a woman with a newborn after the newborn was 6 weeks old so she could breastfeed. Heartless F-ers. I think I am screwed. Oh, yeah, they said I have to call every Sunday for the next 6 months to see if there are any cases. |
