A girl I know is thinking about not going tomorrow. Just curious of the consequences? Also, how much do they get paid... like $6 a day or something?

 

its illegal i think. i wouldnt miss it.

and yeah its not much pay, and theres no guarantee you get picked

 

Its funny that you mention it because I have jury duty on the 11th. What can I do to get out of it?

 

your in college, you dont need to go. when you get another in the mail (since your not going this time) take it to the courthouse and tell them you are a student and they will say oh ok and let you off the hook

i went once and i was by far the youngest person there. they didnt select me for duty but 3 months later i got another one in the mail and i said fuckit and told them i had class and had an exam that day i couldnt miss

 

shes not a student... shes the manager at tanfastic. So I thought maybe she could say she had to work?

 

I used to have my boss write me a note saying that the company needed me since I had so many responsibilities.

 

i didnt read the part where you said it was someone else, oops. and her job has to let her go to a summons or they could face penalties. if she doesnt go she has to pay a fine and have it rescheduled.

 

It was lost in the mail so you had no clue of the event you were expected to attend..

 

^^^oh ya!! you're right... hers was lost.



























good idea

 

My Dad got one in the mail one time. Told them he works out of town Monday-Friday (which he does) and said he wasn't going to miss out on $300 a day just to sit in a room and get paid like $6. And it worked...

 

First of all guys, they raised it to 9 or ten bucks now lol

Second, I was gonna skip my jury duty day, decided to go just in case 3 hours later...they were holding every thing up waiting on me...soo.... just watch your ***

EDIT: They called my house looking for me as well. How some people fall through the crack and some don't, wish I knew.

EDIT2: Was Tarrant County

 

they were waiting for you?

 

Yup, every single person was held up for 3 hours cause of me...they were pissed lol

 

wow, thats MFcrazy.

 

she should just go.. it will only last about 2hours if she doesn't get picked.. but if she does she might be there all day.. even the next day or more

 

if your really dumb do you think you can get out of it? bc seriously. this girl is an idiot(probably has the IQ of a 7th grader)<-not joking.

 

Damn. I knew I should have payed attention in Goverment/Economics whenever we were talking about this type of situation . It was last year whenever I was in high school. I remember my teacher telling us how to get out of jury duty lol.

 

I moved to a different county to avoid jury duty. I was scheduled to move out on the 30th or so. Jury duty was on the 29th. So I asked my land lady if I could move out on the 28th, got out of it

 

Forgot to add that my brother has never shown up for jury duty ever and they never say anything. Guess it comes down to the luck of the draw

 

They have a bunch of things to get out you out of it, my dad had one and it was some dip **** who got a speeding ticket, said he was a vetranarian and his patients needed him so it was ok for him to speed. If I had to waste my time just to hear that, I would have told the judge guilty and recomend the death penalty for wasting my time. In fact just go in there and say some thing kinda crazy, like you follow Islamic law and he should have his hands cut off.
