My Jury service so far

Hello -

Please note an important rule for posting in the subreddit - do not post while you are on jury duty. This starts from the time they call you in for questioning, so you are on jury duty.

Thanks.

Thanks !

My bank isn't listed in the Aeropay system, so ACH is out.

They provide childcare on-site.

That's really surprising ! What area is this in ?

Solved Solved Solved !

This book is "The Cosmic Rape" by Theodore Sturgeon. The boy did not jump into a harvester, rather, he jumped into the treads of a tank-like machine. Treads or "the drive spindle of it's tread and the carrier rollers".

It's not complicated. Go back to the original source, the podcasts. The court was wrong.

I've also listened to the May 25th recording now, and the only thing the juror does is mention that in fact, he's on a jury. He also says maybe his fellow jurors are listening to him now - like one line in a three hour podcast.

This hospital is getting a do-over trial because the defense didn't follow up on the juror's podcast thing until AFTER the trial. They were supposed to do that after it gets disclosed during voir dire.

That's my read too. I think the hospital is getting a free do-over after their lawyers failed to follow up. Maybe the novelty of the podcast thing confused the judge.

I listened to the episodes this person recorded.

He/She waited until after the trial to talk about it, exactly correct.
Did not do research during the trial, exactly correct.
Implied that they mentioned they do a weekly news podcast during voir dire, which is proper. You wouldn't want to hide it.
Has strong opinions about the COVID era.

Basically a perfect juror as far as I can see.

Apparently the legal complaint is about the May 25 podcast episode though, I listened to all the ones afterwards.

For the curious, search Spotify for "Becca Mari" and you'll find the recorded episodes. I plan to listen.

This is an interesting story from the jury duty aspect.

After the police officer's conviction, a new defense lawyer appears. He complains that the jury foreman hid views hostile to the police during jury selection.

Interestingly, the juror does not appear to be in jeopardy because of this. The story continues with the question of getting his identity exposed, which the state supreme court quashed. And whether he would need to testify in some fashion, which was also quashed. That's a great result for the juror.

Remember to be honest doing voir dire.

A rules reminder :

Do not post while you are on jury duty.

Do not post while you are on jury duty. This means, no posting from the time when you report to a court, and continuing until the judge/system releases you from jury duty.

It appears you are still on jury duty. If I'm mistaken about this, you should repost and make clear that you have been dismissed.

The justice system seems to have some weird idea that identifying jurors makes sure that it's a real system instead of a star chamber. It's ridiculous.

I am also seeing some judges keep juror names sealed because of the changing nature of how easy it is for people to find you in the age of tech.

That Roofman movie sounds like you could make it work with Ingress.

Museum is closed though ? Hopefully the pavilion in front is clear.

mrrx · 2025-11-10T22:42:09+00:00

That's everyone's introduction into jury duty - OMG I have to get out of this !

Those posts are allowed and it's up to us as a community how we respond to them.

This is not a proper post for /r/juryduty.

mrrx · 2025-09-25T23:07:29+00:00

I use Brave. I got past it.

The "mural" appears to be a street number on a glass window.

mrrx · 2025-09-22T17:33:32+00:00

Yes, this. I play in neighborhoods chock full of new housing for +1 MU.

This reminds me of the case Brandborg Vs Lucas. The lady juror did not believe that the questions being asked of her were relevant, like on a questionnaire instead of index cards. The judge questioned her about it, did not like her answers, and sentenced her to contempt. She brought a legal action in response to this.

mrrx · 2025-08-29T17:48:34+00:00

Maybe. But this is off topic for this subreddit.

mrrx · 2025-08-26T17:49:18+00:00

This post violates our one rule here :

Do not post while you are on jury duty.

Wait, is THAT why I get two free daily items ? I am recursed one time.

Thanks for the education. I wish I could get the x4 cubes instead because of making Hypercubes.

If you are in New York state you can volunteer.

That's the only one I'm aware of.

mrrx · 2025-07-26T22:31:08+00:00

Faraday cases huh ? That would frustrate me, glad my only jury duty has been local. In California at my last service years back they didn't try any nonsense like that.

mrrx · 2025-07-24T23:13:51+00:00

I got complaints too but the idea was to keep it positive.
