Ong, no matter what… the gov wants to take everything from you. Your money, your time, your mind. Can’t stand em

Are you being sarcastic?

@@etanmedude2927 nigga why would I say thank you if I truly didn’t mean it😕😑

not saying this helps me fully, but i am starting to understand it

You can just say these things in a professional manner, you would quite likely to get dismissed.

Because if it wasn’t mandatory, no one would do it.

good luck!

How did it go

the lawyers can ask "do you want to be here" and exclude everyone who say no

I’m an unemployed 19 year old as well. I’m going although I don’t know much about jury duty.

No you wont be charged for anything, if you dont wanna do it, just walk up in there and say I dont wanna do it and if they say too bad then say the person will be guilty no matter what, they have to let you go at that point since you womt comply and you will be fine. You will probably never be selected again either 😂💯

I’m 19 and unemployed too let’s goo bruh😂😂 got jury duty in 3 weeks

If you are ever held in contempt you can easily argue your side of the story. The judge would probably dismiss. But still criminal record is terrible.... Best to wait for others to answer your question ig. Maybe quora?

I was 19 when I was supposed to be summon for Jury duty, but because I was going to be out of the country that time. I submitted a notice that I was out of the country during the time of jury services and was approved 24-48 hours later. By the time I came back I didn’t really received a notice until after 20 and finished 2 years of Uni I’m summoned again for jury duty. Despite being employed or unemployed, we still have serve jury duty as we are law-abiding US citizens. As per usual with the video mentioned, states are different, in my state the county is willing to pay my gas between the travel distance from the court house from home. Others may actually pay you for half or full day as a jury member. And note I doubt you’ll be held contempt because you answered honestly on the form and in-person that you are unemployed. Plus during the process of voir dire which is the process lawyers are selecting amount jurors that match their case. If you are dismissed in some counties/states, you’ll probably wait about an hour or two before being officially dismissed and asked to return on another day. But I’m certain in your state they’ll have a book that explains it try to search up “The (state name) Jury Handbook”it’ll give you a basic run down on what to expect, employed or unemployed. But in the end we are just a group of 3rd party observers, with an open mind and which party if guilt/non-guilty.

Fr 😂😂

Yup, and on top of that these people are biased. Also if you take in to account of what the average person in society is like and how they think I don’t want that person anywhere near a court room.

you aren’t supposed to know the law as a jury. that’s the whole point

@@user-rd5nc1nb9f so they shouldn't be anywhere near a court of law exactly because they have 0 knowledge about the law. What if all the juries just decide to side on the criminal just for fun?

That’s crazy I got summoned to jury duty bro idk and I don’t care about like bro who wants to hear all that and sit in a chair like come on bro

The judge could be extraordinarily biased. It's better to have 12 people decide a case than one. The judge still has the right to hold order and do a lot of other things other than determining the innocence of the person being charged; that job goes only to the jury, and is the only job the jury has.
