So I get a letter in the mail and it says I have to do jury duty for a week. I don't know how this stuff works. So do they just pick out random people?

 

Is there anyway I can get out of doing jury duty? If so please tell me what I need to do because I really don't have any interest sitting in a courtroom all day.

You can get out of it, but it has to be medically related in most scenarios.

 

They'll pick random people and take them for an interview and/or selection process.  It can get pretty boring sitting a room waiting for your name or nothing.  Take a book or two.

So what if I have to work? Is that a good excuse?

don't try to "get out of it". its a great learning exp and can only add to your perspective of the judicial system.

I would do it if I had the free time, but I have to work to pay my bills. What happens if you don't show up? A fine would be my guess.

Your employer legally has to pay you for full time for like the first week of work missed for jury duty I believe.

Yea they have to if you have to keep going for a full week. Anything less is up to the employer. Which is pretty shitty. They should pay no matter what.

you'll go, sit in a courtroom for like 20 minutes while they pick random ppl. You'll swear on a bible, then leave.  That's it. Shouldn't take you away from work that long.

That's it?

 

Cool no problem, I thought it would be a all day type of thing.

 

Thanks!

My wife got called for a shoplifting case.  They asked her what she did for a living, she told them Retail Store Manager and they said "Dismissed."

 

She got called for a murder case.  They asked her if she had an opinion of the Insanity Defense.  She said "It's a cop out", they said "Dismissed".

 All I want to know is who do I talk to to get out of doing this?

 

Hard to get out of it man.  Work isn't a reason.  Your employer has to let you off for Jury Duty.  If you are summoned and don't appear, in some states you'll be charged.

 

BUT, at the same time, (for arguments sake I'll assume you're in NC).  Many systems will have an automated line that you call after like 6 PM the night before just to make sure you are needed.  You could call that number and be told you don't have to report.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
