About 15 years ago I was subpoenaed for jury duty. I showed up and when it was my turn to answer questions the first thing they asked was my name. The defense attorney got a puzzled look on his face and interupted the District Attorney asking the questions. He asked me if I was familiar with this case, I answered "Yes I am, I arrested the defendant". Well I was dismissed. :lol:
I don't know it that would have even got me out of it. :smt081 :smt081 :smt081
When we were questioned before we knew ANY thing about the trial I thought ".....there is no way there going to keep me." Here is how it went....
Q - Do you know any one with the prosecution or defense?
A - Yes. I knew the defense attorney. Our daughters were in the same brownie troop. I left out the part about smoking ISOM's till 3am with him at one of the camping trips.
Q - Have you or any family members been a victim of a violent attack?
A- Yes. My brother was just stabbed 6 times about 2 months earlier. It was with a pair of needle nose pliers in the back. OUCH!!
Q - Do you have any time constraints?
A - Yes. I was excused from jury duty the following week for a planed vacation.
After all that, they still keep me on the jury. :smt017
