What is wrong with Jury duty? Yeah it's a hassle, but it is the most base obligation that we have to our fellow citizens. It is a greater obligation that serving in the military or paying taxes, IMO.
The problem with jury duty is that I have to travel an hour each way just to get there....on top of taking the time off of work which I can't afford....besides, i have absolutely no faith in the american justice system anyways
I don't think someone who skipped out on jury duty is in a position to tell us that they don't have faith in the judicial system.
Well, to quote my sister who DID her duty, only to be dismissed days later when the prosecutor and defense attorney struck a plea bargain (and she told them both the same thing she said to me) "Why the hell did you waste my time when you knew you were going to bargain out? I lost X time being here doing my duty."
Because they don't know that things will be bargained out, and there's a very slim chance the Judge could throw it out.
Not really.

Just about every case has a plea bargain somewhere.

You'd think that BOTH sides would make sure that that was out of the way before they asked folks to put their life on hold to do their civic duty.

That or else give them some sort of moratorium so that they don't worry about bills and stuff while doing their duty.

From Maxine: I have been informed that the Islamic terrorists, who hate our guts and want to kill us, do not like to be called "Towel Heads" since the item they wear on their heads is not actually a towel but a small folded sheet. Therefore, from this point forward, please refer to them as "Little Sheet Heads." Thank you for your support.

Actually I skipped Jury Duty as well. Biodome too. Shore really hasn't done anything decent since Encino Man.
