They get called in for jury duty just like anyone else, but I doubt many actually get selected for the jury. The last time I had to do jury duty one of the people in the jury pool was a car dealer owner that did a bunch of local commercials and he was one of the first peeps to get canned.
Generally you want your jury to be impartial and bland. Everyone in the jury should be paying attention not the case, not their fellow jury members.
This ‘documentary’ one Jury Duty actually has James Marsden on the jury. If you haven’t seen it, yet, you’re missing out.
He is from Sonic!
Is William even able to sit in the jury seat with a shlong that long?
But I have William DaFriend.
For those seriously wondering, yes, in the U.S justice system, many celebrities have been on jury duty, as well as several politicians. Unfortunately, fictional characters aren’t typically allowed jury duty, meaning that you’ll never get a Quintesson to give you “Innocent” before throwing you into a vat of Sharkticons.
Are there anyone who’s exempt from jury duty, for example because of their profession?
Would it be possible to have Judge Judy sitting in a jury?In my jurisdiction the only ones formally exempted from jury duty are those who are employed in the courtrooms: judges, bailiffs, and court reporters.
There are several other occupations that, while not formally exempt, are almost guaranteed to result in you not being picked: law enforcement, child protective services, district attorney office, criminal defense attorney.
Hell, both times I was actually asked to come in, they dismissed me just for having friends who were cops.
Funny, both times I’ve been summoned they dismissed me for stating (honestly) that I hate cops in general and would not be impartial at all.
Lmao I did the same thing and got assigned to sit in for a 2 week case. Wack
But you could still be asked to serve if the case was civil and did not involve cops. There are many reasons you can be dismissed, but it varies wildly from one case to the next.
I got the jury duty notice once when I was like 19, promptly forgot about it, and haven’t heard anything since. This was about 15 years ago.
That was probably because they brokered a deal between prosecution and defense, and the jury was not needed. You’re supposed to check the website in the morning to make sure you’re needed. You probably just got very very lucky.
I want to say this was before everything was fully online, but it’s been so long that I have no idea. I still find it odd that I haven’t heard a peep since (not that I’m complaining).
Maybe. Still might have been a call in to check thing or something like that.
That’s sounds more like it lol
I think Obama went to Jury Duty, post presidency.
But it was pretty much a formality lmao cause there was no way in hell he’d ever be selected. Pretty much turned it into a press piece.
Unless they have a Social Security Number
You know, I’m something of a Judge myself.
David Letterman had jury duty once and wouldn’t shut up about it for several episodes of his show (he actually liked it.)
If you have job and financial security, it could be an interesting change of pace for a bit.
Im salaried, fuck it. Unfortunately my ADHD ass missed my last two jury summons that I had every intention of going to so they don’t ask my anymore. At least they didn’t arrest me 😅
Sheah, you’re definitely lucky they didn’t suspend you driver’s license or something… or did they? I guess you won’t know until you get pulled over and find out there’s a $10k bench warrant on you.
Nah, I actually had a cop out front of my house doing something unrelated to me and I asked him if he had a sec to run my license. I’d rather find out right then and there rather than get my car towed. He said I was all good lol.
Noice!
ur
u
GUILTY! Repeat third grade for contempt of humanity.
I’m sorry, officer. I swear it’s not mine!
Just holding it for a friend, eh?
Imagine ur going to trial and THIS guy is across the room looking at u like this:
Yes. Even the president can get summoned but it’s unlikely either legal camps would want that much attention on their case. More of a distraction.
Better call Willem Dafren to your side. … I’ll see myself out.
Reminds me of this one
It has an email address for people to send in pictures… I wonder if they did anything with them.
sorry autist… what does this face mean to you?
I was going to ask. He almost seems happy?
His face is just serious and focused. Relatively neutral without a hint at what he’s thinking.
(With the meme context, this would be the look of someone who is trying to size you up)
“Resting Skeptic Face”?
I thought it looked happy and amused. Maybe this is why I have trouble with socializing lmao
It’s a pretty neutral face, the fact that people are arguing over it is kinda evidence for that.
There is a little lift on the right corner of his mouth, and given all the scarier faces he’s known for, he looks relatively cheerful here. I’d trust him on my jury, if I were innocent.
And if I were guilty, I would not trust him because he was my partner who turned me in and got away before he was identified. He’s smiling because he knows I know what he’d do to my parents if I snitched, and he’s getting away with my half of the fortune. I also know he’s most likely going to marry my girlfriend because the love triangle was so plain as day.
If it hadn’t been for Willem Dafoe, I’d be married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from Willem Dafoe?
In all fairness Willem has more to offer your girlfriend than you do. And I’m not talking about the money.
I’m ready for celebrity jury the TV show
Imagine being in a jury with Willem Dafoe and disagreeing with him during deliberations.
