[QUOTE="witzend, post: 277563, member: 99"] First off, I think it's our civic duty to sit on a jury when called. Second, I think that people like us make it truly "a jury of their peers". We are intelligent and understand what goes on in the world. I sat for a whole month on grand jury about 7 years ago. That's where the district attorney presents his case and asks the grand jury to charge the person with a crime. I learned an awful lot about criminal justice. A month was a bit long though. husband did grand jury about 2 years ago for a month. [I]He[/I] learned that no matter what a criminal is arrested for, after the police go through his pockets, he or she will always say, "These aren't my pants!" :raspberry-tounge: When asked whose pants they are they say "I don't know!" When asked where they were when they put the pants on they say "I was at my friend's house!" So, everyone at your friend's house was naked and you all put on each other's pants? "I don't know!" Even Lindsay Lohan pulled the "These aren't my pants" when she got busted with coke in her pocket! FWIW, no one ever believes those aren't their pants... [/QUOTE]
