I wouldn't put you on my jury. You don't fit the profile of someone that would vote not guilty for me. I would take Nardi.

Not guilty by reason of insanity?

i got a notice to appear and ended up on a grand jury for 3 months. i actually ended up enjoying it

Did you indict the ham sandwich?

Would you want me on your jury anyway?

You've come a long way from when you were on the list of people not welcome at the Peeps/OKC/KS message board.

Where is the new message board?

I think it became a wrestling message board.

bigfan wins again.

Didn’t one T start up a Chicago themed board in Arizona?

Haven't heard of standby jury duty.

I was called for Harris County jury duty a few months ago. They probably had 800 people or so divided into 4 rooms. They have a monitor in each room then they'd show a range of numbers and if your number was in that range, you'd go out in the hall. From there, they whittle that number down to a smaller number and if you make that, you're going into the court room for jury selection. If your number isn't called or you're not called to the smaller group, you are dismissed with full credit.

I was in the smaller group waiting to get into a court room. After waiting about 45 minutes, we were sent to an unoccupied court room to wait. After about 20 more minutes, a judge comes in (all rise) and dismisses us with full credit. As she put it, "Sometimes, these things happen with family members." I'm guessing that one family member didn't want to testify against another. Wasn't sure if it was a criminal or civil case.

Hope you don't get picked to attend.

On standby you used to have to call the night before and see if your number was up, otherwise nada.

County or Federal?

County, Daley Center.

I haven't been recalled since we moved back into Cook County.

My federal call last year was cancelled the day before when I called to confirm.

My wife throws them out. Her reasoning is if you don't call in they can't prove you ever received the notice. I on the other hand do not recall ever receiving a stand-by notice.
