I have jury duty in a month. I am excited. I am hoping that I will finally get picked. Crazy? Maybe I am! But SRSLY! This will be my 3rd jury summons (In only 6 years...I serve like every 2 years. JESUS!) and yet, I've never been picked. But that's why I can serve so often. If you don't get picked, you can get duty again in 1 year. It's 3 if you do serve.
So why not me? Well, the first time, I was being questioned for a panel for a civil suit, but I had just received my own settlement from a civil suit I was involved in (which subsequently was settled out of court, but 'spose that still counts). The second time, was a criminal murder trial and I didn't serve because I don't believe in the death penalty. I don't picket at prisons or anything, but I can't sentience a man to death. I mean, really, I was looking at him. I looked directly at him. Could you do that? Could you look at a man and say, "Yes, that man should die"?
I can't. And so I didn't serve.
But we'll see. I hope it goes well. It's still a month away, but keep your fingers crossed. I wanna see my justice system at work!
