Jury Duty - Boy are us 2A folks in trouble!

[SteyrAUG]

Potential jurors don't always tell 100% truth.
Most tell what the attornies don't want to hear so they would be released.

I don't think most people are that sophisticated. I think most people only know what Oprah tells them then they repeat what Oprah told them as if it was their own independent thoughts.

It was pretty much standard in VA. I worked in a mostly engineering organization and in all my years there only one coworker ever served on a jury despite having 3 state courts and a federal court in the immediate vicinity. Same thing happened in Fl when I retired here.
They just hate engineers.

So, they'd summon you but just not impanel you, or did they just give up on summoning you?

Summoned me. I'd sit there for hours, waiting for the lawyers to go over the prospective jurors questionnaires, then get dismissed. After moving here and going through the same thing a couple times I used my back problems as a medical excuse, got a Drs. note, told them they'd have to provide a suitable chair. They then permanently took me off the list.
