So, I got a summons for jury duty in the mail. As a resident of a state in the US you are obligated to serve jury duty when your name is pulled from the magic hat of some giant database machine in the back of some state department. Starting today, for the next two weeks I will be serving my jury time. Today I went in and sat with a group of about 60 people, after several hours of sitting around, and then several hours of questioning and probing us, a jury was selected (12 people with 2 alternates for a totaly of 14). And I was one of them, I made the team! Heh, not a team it seems most people want to make, many people do their best to get out of jury duty as it can be a pretty big inconvenience. So I’ll be sitting in on a court case I’m sworn in not to talk about at all. Sure, I’d rather be busy creating comics and stuff… but I’m just going to make the best of it and do my part as a citizen.
And I figure it only fair to make poor old Osborne have to go through it too, so it’s jury duty comics all week!

LOL I wonder what the case Osbourne will be Jurying will be like. Maybe Wally will be the judge or even the defendant.
No one seems to want to be a Jury person. Here in New Zealand no-one wants to be a Jury-pewrson either. And Jurours are paid below minimum wage. But I suppose its for our country so we have to do it.
My teacher has gotten jury duty about a gazillion times and she has never been selected! Lucky her!
Good luck on your jury duty! 😀
My old teacher used to make sure he never got jury duty. He never lied about the questions but he always tried to be unpleasant.
GUILTY!!!!
That is all….

Out here in OZ, they just send notices of Jury duty through the regular mail so it’s pretty easy for it to get “lost in transit” and make it hard for them to get you to the court.
Jury Duty I means that there will at least be a second part, so we can look forward to a new series ….
I think the penguin chicks are guilty ! So are the skuas ….
I was selected to be “on call” for jury duty for the entire month of March this year. I had to call a number three times a week to see if I had to go in. It turns out that I didn’t. The clerk at the courthouse said they don’t get many cases that go to court really. A lot of tickets and people rather just pay the fine for their guilty butts. 😀 Too bad though, I wouldn’t have minded really. I would have gotten paid at work as well as whatever minimal dollarage the court through at me. It would have been an interesting change in my routine that’s for sure.
If you got summoned for Jury Duty, you vote and/or drive a car–Voter registration and the DMV are the 2 DBs they hit here in the states–just pray you got criminal and not civil. Criminal is usually 2 weeks, but civil can go 2 months (assesing damages). I believe in fulfilling jury duty, but worry about doing it in a country where you are innocent until proven broke.
