Funny! I thought he might have been talking about a police officerā¦.ya how they were blue uniformsā¦.sometimesā¦..some placesā¦..errā¦.never mind.
everytime i get called for JD (and i get called a lot), i always think iāll do the ālieā thing, not be impartial, say the defendant looks guilty, etc. BUT, once you get up there, and the judge and bailiff and prosecutor is right there staring at you, you just canāt help but tell the truthā¦ā¦
I really enjoyed my sole turn serving on a jury ā a five-day civil assalt case involving two former college soccer players. I never was summoned again and have always been a bit disappointed about it.
The closest I will ever be to be on jury duty was in 1996 when me and some friends, mainly sons and daughters of rotarians, went to Ohio as part of a good will tour to a town that had been ātwinnedā with ours. Aamong other activities we went to the courth house and talked with one judge, who was about to dictate sentence to a woman who lied in court about her husband sexually abusing his kids. He asked us to sit at the jurorsĀ“ chairs and to remain silent. He sentenced her to 12 yers. Her husband had been sentenced to 9 years.
I would LOVE to sit on a jury! Iāve been called once, but it was a SLOW too weeks and so I did not get to sit on a case. I really want to do it! Kind of sucks that all these people who donāt want to are the ones who are always called.

About the guy in blue, Rat is not wrong.

A āCriminal Attorneyā IS kind of redundant when you think about itā¦

Orange is such a friendly, trustworthy color.

This is a naive, useless question, but-
Why donāt lawyers also have to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
.
I knowā¦ donāt bother to explain it to meā¦
Just musing aloud.

As Dave Barry observed, the Constitution gives you the right to a trial by 12 people too dumb to get out of jury duty.

Rat has righteous attitude, but he seems to be teetering on the brink of contempt. Play nice with the judge until you are dismissed, Rat!
