I Have Jury Duty / Somebody Is Gonna' Hang

lol - I think I like your boss!

He and I seem to be on the same wavelength on this one.

If you like, though, I'll write to DOT (save you the potential embarrassment of having to correct your boss - and I'm *used* to being embarrassed)

Actually, I'll be out and about tomorrow (DMV, potential jobs, etc) so I might be able to stop into the Western Division office and ask them directly...

 

Your answer is why I would not say what I would do.

Actually it would be the same.

 

Ok do that and let us know

 

I stopped by the regional office today and asked the question. Guess what?

They don't know, either.

They directed me to the D.C. office. I called and left voice mail at about 16:30 Eastern time. We'll see if I get a call back.

 

I am still saying off duty! Let me know

 

Well, I will be dipped in dark brown paint.

They called me back this afternoon.

I'll be dipped in something other than brown paint, too.

They said "Off Duty"

We genuflect in the general direction of LogsRus

 

Just log it as driving to get your average speed for the day back to legal.

But really, that's quite interesting.

 

I was called to serve twice. I get my wages paid as if I were at work, plus mileage. First time DUI case - NOT GUILTY vote. If they don't have the five pieces of evidence then there's reasonable doubt. The second time was last Monday. We had over 40 show up and I was part of the back 40 and they didn't get around to us much for questioning and chose from the first 25. Even if you answer questions stating you have had something similiar happen to you or someone close, they always end the question with "Would that make you presume innocense or quilt?" I feel 90% positive I could not answer yes to that question. Everyone deserves a fair trial.

If you are ever in need of a good jury or civil servant for that matter, I hope the best for you. You have the right to be protected and served along with the rest of us, no matter if you take part or not. That's America!

I think it takes all of us as participating members in each of our communities to make things work. If it doesn't work, we try to make changes in how things are done, for the better. I can't say it's flawless (court system, laws, officers of law & court) but am glad we don't have the right to run amuck like those virus infected mutated characters (which remind me of overamped crack addicts)on that movie with Will Smith I Am Legend. I still get the heebie geebies thinking bout those creatures!


Oh yeah, getting back on topic. Glad Lurchgs & Logs found out the answer for you.
