Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Has anyone here sat on on a jury before?

I recently wrapped up a nearly 2 week stint on a civil trial. During the juror selection process I kept thinking to myself what would @Sledog say so that I could get excused, but alas my real life persona of an objective, cuckold always seems to shine through. Throughout the proceedings I was able to keep myself entertained with and endless stream of Hardcore Husky inside jokes. At every corner the judge and counsel would Thank Us For Our Service. There was plentiful wheel chair (powered and manual) hawt talk and in depth economis discussions about present value and discount rates. The Aurora Bridge even got its free pub as a location in the series of events. @Swaye would surely have been proud when during deliberations I pointed out to my fellow jurors the exact model of two tone, "Date Just" Rolex watch worn by one of the plaintiff's sleazy "expert" witnesses and its approximate value.

    missed my chance to sit on a domestic capital murder trial because I said I had issues with the chinsanity defense.

    I sat on a B&E case and we found the defendant guilty. I was juror number 13 or 14 on a rape case but the defense attorney used one of his peremptory challenges on me.

    Isn't murder the definition of chinsanity?

    I was always legally excused. No one will take me as a juror. Ask the pretend attorneys if they want a retired cop on the jury. Prosecutors do! The rest not so much.

    I'd gladly serve but they won't take me. Won't take my wife either.

    Eh. Not really.

    If I had to murder someone for massive financial gain and thought I could get away with it.... I might. Would be a reasonable option

    I've been dismissed on several occasions.

    It must have been something I said.

    I wouldn't pick you.
