i'm 42 and the only time i was asked to serve, i was out of town. I want to at least do it once.

I had jury duty today across the street from the future home of the Bears’ wasted $200m.

Sat in a room for several hours before the elderly woman in charge of the jury room informed us that court was cancelled and we could go home. Really earned my $35 for the day.

The best part is that early in the day, they show a video describing the ABCs of what it means to be a juror. Most of it was Timothy Evans reading cue cards. The middle third was a lady quipping about various elements of jury trials over a laugh track and some bad actors.

Do your civic duty commie

Yeah, me too. I'm even older, pay every kind of of tax, vote in every election, and have never been called for jury duty.

I was on a jury for a murder trial about 10 years ago. The courthouse on California. Young black kid on trial. I think he was 20. Gang banger. Shot another kid in the street, in the day, in front of a bunch of witnesses. He was owed money from him. Probably a drug deal but that wasn't made clear. Didn't matter. Easy to find him guilty. He did it. But I felt bad for him. Felt bad that I was putting him away for life even though he deserved it. Then the judge told us afterwards that he was already serving life for another murder he was convicted of a few months prior.

When I first turned 18 and registered to vote I got a jury summons. I was excited. Called the night before as instructed and was told I didn't need to go in. Never been picked since. Even if I was I wouldn't make it on the panel. Lawyers don't want lawyers on a jury.

They won’t let us insurance guys on a jury….but have been called twice.

For my whopping $18 a day you'd have thought the insurance defense lawyers wouldn't have wanted me there. Half a million later on a simple med mal, I bet he picked better juries.

thank for your service!

I'm generally a civic duty guy, but younger Nas repeatedly avoided jury duty. Now that I want to right my wrongs, they don't want to ask me.

Been called close to 10 times. Only one I that I had to show up for was Kane County and it was really close to my 21st birthday. Made it to the box and was dismissed. If only I had seen Rob Roy (It was the only question I was asked before prosecutor thanked me and excused me). Lake County called me 8 months later since on my new DL I had an Evanston address but I was already in Montana. Kane might of called me again but that can't be right. It's been a while here, I'm sure Im due as it was every other year there for a while.. Hopefully not for that murder case that is bond to go trial one of these days. Prefer the calling in on Monday and being told there are no jury cases scheduled.
