What are the odds of two "Death Rattlers" sitting in on a Capital Murder case on Feb. 24th, 2003?

Somehow, Ripsnort, I think the defense will weed you out of any criminal cases in the voir dire process

Jury Duty scared the hell out of me.. not because of the eternal boredom of sitting in a room for many days on end waiting for a case..but  the people sitting in the room with me.. oh my god..think 'Cletus' from the Simpsons...that pretty much sums it up..the folks who think the 10 bucks a day is better than their normal existance...

Anyone who is too stupid to get out of jury duty is too stupid to judge me.

Finished up my 2 1/2 weeks of jury duty Rip, so good luck.

As far as being too stupid to get out of it,...I am smart enough to realize that being dishonest is not a good way to live.

The first thought was "I could probably get out of it"...then immediately that little angel sitting on the other shoulder said "its your civic duty".

I haven't served on a Jury since 1984...I was recently bragging to a co-worker that "its been almost 20 years!" and boom, I get a letter. Hehe, jinxed myself.  Incidently, the other 2 times I've summoned I was selected for the jury.
