September 7, 2012 It's another "FINISH THE SENTENCE FRIDAY"....and I was thinking.... If you receive a letter in the mail to Serve Jury Duty (which is inevitably and you eventually will), you are OBLIGATED and MANDATED to SERVE
March 22, 2012 The latest entry into the BIG DUMMY FILES Susan Cole, 57, of Denver was dismissed from jury duty in July 2011 after she "deliberately dressed in a crazy and uncoordinated fashion" to look like she had a mental disorder (PTSD). Which she claimed she suffered from military service,
A Brooklyn woman called to serve jury duty in the death penalty trial of New York city mob boss Vincent Basciano may not have been being entirely honest when she wrote in her jury questionnaire that the people she least admired were "African-Americans, Hispanics and Haitians," and that police officers are "lazy."
It isn't uncommon for potential jurors to put offensive statements in their questionnaire in hopes that will get them disqualified from the trial, and Juror 799 was removed from the Basciano case.
