[@executiveorder7146]

@Cant_Touch_This well its very hard for rent a judges to get in trouble they are voted in is why and it takes lots for them to be in trouble the key then is to out smart them and it fact that fake rent a judge has limits on what he can do and is not over real criminal its civil court and i even call them rent a judges bc you pay to see them you go down and file a civil order and bam your there and a real judge one that handles criminal cases can over rule the civil court and i even told the civil court judge he sould have tried harder in college then he would be a real judge lol

Even this kid, on his own terms, (or words) wants to show people how jury duty isn't something to sleep on. You may not care because you are making $12 an hour, if even that. That kid costed more than the $200 something dollars to tax payers all because he didn't want to show up. Defending him is like stating you want to subsidize his lazy life style.

Well it's law. I don't care if your a Bible beating Christian, or a bald head criminal like yourself. Penalties for missing jury duty can result in contempt of court, which may be punishable by: Fines (sometimes up to $1,000) and/or Jail time (usually up to 5 days maximum). These punishments may vary and will depend on state and local laws, as well as the nature of the way the person missed jury duty. For instance, if the person intentionally deceived the court in order to miss jury duty, penalties might be greater.

Having worked 8 years in law enforcement and 2 of those with the juvenile probation unit with the county sheriff's office, there should have been no probation issued at all, and there should have been no more than a 3 day stay at the 1 star bed & breakfast issued. 10 days is excessive and any amount of probation is excessive. The judge has failed to show where this man is guilty of anything other than misdemeanor contempt of court due to oversleeping and then a poor decision to brush it off and go to work. Yes, the man was ignorant in how the justice system works, but he is also just a man who has had zero experience within a court house/system. That alone should speak on the man's behalf as credibility that he is not a careless or problematic citizen. All I'm seeing here is that this judge wanted to give this man a criminal record as opposed to a misdemeanor contempt of court. He instead shafted him with criminal contempt of court: "criminal contempt of court is a serious breach of a court order that a judge deems as criminal in intent or behavior." and I'm not seeing criminal intent or behavior, and doubt most judges would see that or be able to articulate that either.

He was sworn in as a juror. You can argue that you're unfit to serve in a jury because missing work will cause you severe financial problems and the judge will exempt you. But you do that during jury selection. Once you don't give any reasons for which you may not serve in a jury and you're sworn in then there's no turning back. You are bound by law to show up to trial or provide a reasonable excuse for not doing so. As for why he got the sentence, he simply went to work after missing his alarm as if nothing happened, instead of alerting anyone of his circumstances. That's paramount to evading his jury duty, which carries penalties that go way beyond a week or two in jail.

bmorefan5220 although I agree this judge was somewhat too harsh in the sentence, it’s bc once a person has agreeed to jury duty after being chosen by the court lottery u MUST show up. This guy failed to show up on time so he ended up delaying the trial, nor did he call to explain why he missed it. I think I a fine would have been far better, but he missed something that was mandatory (u need to do jury duty once in ur life if u r chosen)

[@letsplayslots8855]

So it was his 1st time ever for jury duty and that means he's never done it before so he didn't know the rules. But their are 2 people on this thread who is judging this still young man for not knowing. He also has a job he had to go to. The sentence was harsh! A fine is all he actually needed to pay but this is trumps America after all. 1st time doing jury duty the judges needs to explain what will happen if you dont show or call. Plain and simple! Dont @ me!

[@rocklobster5074]

Jury duty is nothing more than modern day involuntary servitude. Nobody should be forced by law to serve. That's unethical.

[@REBELLOGIC]

What a joke!!! Yet we have an off duty police officer in a crowded Costco in Corona, California shoot up an entire unarmed family - empties his whole clip on them - 4 shots in their backs - 6 total shots go into them - their 32 year old mentally disabled man dies and both parents are critically injured with bullet wounds of their own and the shooter Salvador Sanchez of LAPD gets away with literal murder and 2 attempted murders - all over what you ask? An apparent push or shove that we have all experienced in a crowded Costco Then we have this poor guy going to jail for 10 days over nothing!!! The system is so broken #justiceforken2019

I have been on jury duty and this is uncalled for, that is why you have alternates.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

How many alternates did you have? When I was on Jury duty for a month, there were only a few alternates and we could easily have run out if people had started to just not show up. The length of the jail time seems excessive to me, but they likely wouldn't have held him in contempt of court had he called in and let them know that he overslept. Failing to inform them when he knew is really what the contempt was over in this case, not that he overslept as people keep claiming. I'm sure this judge has multiple people every year that don't show up due to oversleeping and other things that are only partially in their control and this is the one that's making the news.

45 minute judge delay = 14,400 minute working man’s life delay (10 days) So the judge thinks he is 320 times more important that a working man. That is not a justice system.

You don't go to jail for oversleeping. You go to jail for blowing off jury duty which he did by not calling in. He just decided to go to work and act like nothing happened.

He wanted to teach what he obviously saw as a "lazy black kid" a lesson. It's obvious, it's clear as day. If you miss jury duty you don't get jail time.
