Jury duty

I have heard OTR guys usually get a pass since the job requires them to be gone all the time.

Or take the crazy route. Tell them the individual is already guilty. You are racist and hate gays. You wanna marry a dog. And you enjoy paying taxes. They will make a hard pass on you for sure lol.

 

If you are a relative of law enforcement you won't be put on a jury.
He looks guilty to me, got me out.

 

LOL!!

“Problem?”

 

Ahhhhh... someone watches it too LOL

 

Like others have said: just contact the court and explain that your a long haul otr trucker. That you never know where you will be at any given date. It would be an extreme hardship both financially and logistically. This is nothing for them. What ever you do, Don't ignore it.

When it happened to me, I wrote the court a letter, They wrote back saying they would take me off the list.

 

or...

 

Which is why I suggest ignoring the "summons" unless it's an actual summons. One served by a process server is what makes it a legal summons. (At least in MI and TX where I have experience for both).

After the fact you let them know you received their "summons", well all I can say is either enjoy the experience or make yourself as disagreeable as possible. If it's a criminal case a simple "He looks guilty to me" or "He's (whatever race, including white trash) so he's obviously guilty." or the ever wonderful "The cops wouldn't have arrested him if he wasn't guilty."
In a civil case it's a bit harder, just be inventive and make yourself as disagreeable as possible.

 

If you are called for 1 jury trial you can try to weasel out but if it's what they call grand jury in NY it's hearing every preliminary case for a span of weeks and no prejudice is going to cut it because there's no way to know what will hit the pre docket list.
Keep it simple and tell the truth

 

If it’s not registered mail they have zero proof of delivery. Everything I’ve ever gotten in the mail I’ve ignored. If they want me that bad then they can send it registered so I have to sign for it when it’s delivered. Also the “you have two weeks to respond”, well how do they know how often I come home and get my mail?

 

That happened to me to . just show up for jury duty and tell the judge or whoever is in charge of screening jurors when its ur turn to get on the stand. Tell them ur a long haul trucker and jury duty will be a financial hardship for u , since u had to come all the way across the country to attend
