Mix Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Can you find out if your were chosen by the defense or the prosecution? I feel like that's a good way to find out what kind of person people think you are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Wot? You have to be agreed to by both - unless the Judge doesn't think either's reason for your dismissal is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimOdin Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I was on a hysterectomy malpractice suit once. It was as good as it sounds. I was young and totally neutral so I think that’s why I was chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resurrected Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I stood up and said I'd find the defendant not guilty regardless of the evidence, and I was not picked. I was relieved right then. Which is why I said what I said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnmjy Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I once served on a jury. The verdict we made was not guilty. When it was all done, the prosecutor was waiting outside the courtroom and sarcastically said thank you to the people he chose. Apparently, I was chosen by the defendant, as the prosecutor didn't say anything to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yeah, you don't get picked by sides here. You get challenged out by sides, and the attorneys actually call out the jurors they are challenging out. I got challenged out first thing by the prosecutor last time I was in JD.

Skiles Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 My plan if I ever get picked is just to be honest with the judge. I'm gonna tell him I am an absolute scumbag. I will purposefully try to create a 12 Angry Man situation in that room and potentially sabotage that entire process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalar Hex Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The one time I had jury duty I did such a horrid job that the judge dismissed me in the middle of court saying they always pick one juror at random to dismiss. They never invited me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heshi Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I've never had it, though in high school we did a mock trial and I managed to sway the rest of the jury to a guilty verdict with just circumstancial evidence... Meow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameraka Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Getting picked usually implies you’re uninformed, have no strong opinions, and aren’t smart enough to get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
