The worksheet has 100 problems. Problem one is always read all the problems. The last one is always put your name on this paper and your are done it. Never fails that a majority of the kids are working through all the questions/problems because they didn't bother reading them all. Reading the directions and following them is so important.

In my experience when the case is full of shit they always go for the jury instead of arbitrator or judge because they hope people are idiots (which they are). Looking at the abridged conversation listed above its spot on that people still don't pay attention, follow rules or understand what they are doing. <br />It works because as a juror you are instructed you can only make a decisions about the case off the facts that are presented so the real questions you want to know might never be asked. Also during questioning a witness can only answer yes, no or i don't know when being cross examined so you never get the full answer because they can just avoid the question. its really frustrating being a juror in a case where there is a bullshit case because common sense tells you what the answer should be but your not allowed to decide if the questions or facts were never brought up in court.deep throathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689514887223851937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-51843029400372093792018-02-04T09:10:10.062-05:002018-02-04T09:10:10.062-05:00Grand Jury was interesting, but you are there for ...Grand Jury was interesting, but you are there for a month. We went 2 days a week, and that is hard on the paycheck. But it was interesting seeing how the sausage was made. Pro tip, if you are female and accused make sure you cry when you are in front of the Grand Jury, almost a get out of jail free card.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473258406926509070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-37900413407826484272018-02-04T01:47:34.363-05:002018-02-04T01:47:34.363-05:00A trial by jury for a car crash ?

I was waiting to see how this went for you and to hear that you finished.<br /><br />I'm not only a fan of the OSR, I'm a NYS Court Officer, though I don't work in the courthouse you went to (would have been cool to give you some kind of 'Hail Hydra' type sign as you left...).<br /><br />I've always wanted to be on a Jury but can't seem to get past Voit Dire (that part where they asked you biographical stuff and such):<br /><br />"What do you do for a living, Mister Fitz-Hume?"<br /><br />"I'm a Court Officer."<br /><br />"Pass."<br /><br />Been called twice, happened both times. I'd LOVE to get on a Grand Jury. Those are very interesting. While most people really, really don't like Jury Duty, most that serve on a Grand Jury enjoy it quite a bit.
