Have you ever been summoned to jury duty? In California I would get called every few years. Since I got paid for jury duty, it was no problem. It gave me a few days vacation. It never got over a few days because I am not a suitable candidate for a jury.
Why am I not suitable? I don’t drink. I know policemen. I have had family members assaulted. My home has been broken into several times. Attorneys don’t like people like me on a jury. For instance, since I don’t drink they figure I can’t make a judgement on whether a driver was driving under the influence. I did make it on one time. It involved a traffic accident near where I worked. I did not endear myself to the judge. When we were ready to go to deliberations he told us that he would tell us what our options were and basically, what we could decide. When he asked if we had any questions I asked, “Based on what you have told us, why do you need a jury? What are we here for if you can tell us what to decide?” He patted me on the head and sent us on our way.
If you get a chance, do your duty. Before you go do a little research on a topic called “jury nullification”. The theory is that the jury can not only decide if someone is guilty but also has the options to declare them not guilty because the law is bad. Judges don’t like that either so I would suggest you don’t say the words out loud or you will be dismissed.
Are you one of those people who avoids jury duty? Do you pretend to be insane when jury selection is in progress? Do you figure you are too busy? Then shame on you. It is hard enough to get honest juries because of the way the lawyers have rigged the sytem. It is impossible if those who have a brain and integrity avoid service. If you are like me and would like to see the cabal go to prison, jump at the chance to have a voice.
If called, go. If chosen serve. Be on the side of truth and justice not legal technicalities.
I would welcome being on the jury if Fauci ever comes to trial.
