~~~CiViC DuTy~~~


SO......I was out yesterday.....downtown to be a little more exact.......performing my civic duty. Well, thats not entirely true.....I was really hard at work trying NOT to be chosen!

I can, however, recommend a few things which will assist the attorneys with their decision to NOT chose you if presented with this lovely (waste of a day) activity!

1. wear a shirt that clearly expresses an opinion or membership .... I went with my "Scottsdale Gun Club" long sleeve black shirt with tatoo-ish designs.

2. during the question & answer phase of the jury selection...... ensure you find SOME example to share when the judge asks questions related to the case (i.e. family history of robbery, incarceration, law enforcement, guns, weapons).

I, of course, shared:
* my uncle is the police chief in his city....
* I own a weapon
* I dated a prison guard
* I assist local PI's,
* I have studied law
* I am in the dissertation phase of my PhD in Criminal Forensic Psych......

.....yeah, I think it was the last item.......that did it.....rung the bell!

Juror # 46?....."U are dismissed"


........thank you sir!

Please return your number ID to the bailiff.....and return to the jury assembly room to collect your $12 /day receipt......

$12 bucks for talkin' about guns and PI's? Suh-weet! I bet that put some gas in the car, huh?

: )

If I use these, what if they ask me to further myself? Can I just say I like to sleep with cops?

LOL Minta...I want to do jury duty so bad some day...I just wanna send some guilty guy up the river.

My mom got out of jury duty once when asked how she felt about drunk drivers she replied that she felt they should all be shot on sight or hung. She was dismissed right away.
