Not to mention you don’t get paid potentially putting you behind on bills in your own personal life so you’re being punished. So I have to pay an entire days pay to go do something I’m demanded to do because someone else potentially committed a crime I had no control over?

The courts summon people against their God given free will to refuse not to go, if you don't show up, you go to jail or pay fine or both, tell the court system to pick college students/graduates that have or currently studied law, criminal behavior/ psychology and they will get their experts.

What I don’t understand is those who don’t want to be there won’t be good jurors in the first place. They won’t do it with an open mind. They will just go with the majority to avoid being there longer which essentially would then be a mistrial because everyone didn’t conclude their thoughts on the matter with their best reasoning.

I’m 19, I feel like I’m too young for this personally. Especially since currently I’m unemployed and looking for a job, if I get one during the time period after I filled out the questionnaire (on which I said unemployed) could I be held in contempt when I answer the same question if asked again in a month and answer that I am employed? (Assuming I am actually employed of course.)

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 😂💯

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.

@inversional_loop Ай бұрын

I just went yesterday. Its basically waiting in a big room. You get checked in and the people at the front desk get a number of lists depending on how many judges are serving that day. Those people get sent off to a selection process that interviews each juror to seek them fit for participating. Those who are not picked get the option of a verification letter which is a big excusal form that says you were there on this date. You can give that to your school's front office. It should work out.

How it DOESN'T work: You get instructions (that up until the late 50s, jurrors didnt recieve) that keep you from determining whether the law makes sense circumstantially and considering that. You therefore are now 4 times as likely to convict somoene who before that new set of instructions was implemented would have been aquitted. This needs to change back.

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.
