Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for June 30, 2022

What was the first sign?

He does seem rather insensitive to key employment issues.

Over the years, I’ve heard people describe how they’d try not to be selected for a jury, but it’s generally not quite this blatant.

When I’ve gotten a call for jury duty, it’s never gone this far. They have just had me (and others) sitting around the courthouse for several hours before they announced that we weren’t needed. I don’t know if I’d actually want to be on a jury, but I wouldn’t deliberately avoid it.

I have been called 4 times. The first time was back in the 70’s. I went to the Court House, and they filled the pool before they got to me. The second time was in the 80’s. I sat around all week reading books. The third and fourth times I was on a jury within an hour or so after arriving Monday morning. Both were criminal cases. Both were very interesting and very educational, especially as to how the system works . . . and sometimes . . . doesn’t work.

Voir dire.

Show me his name and his picture and I can give you a verdict now.

I’ve got upcoming jury duty. But I actually want to serve. First time ever!

I got the same results with my hang the judge sign.
