Smart way to get out of jury duty!

INeedAName: Smart way to get out of jury duty!

No, not really. He defied a direct order of the judge. "Do not... use the internet to research..."

dude is lucky he's not spending some time care of the county.

He was selected to serve on the jury and Milerman informed her attorney about the friend request the next day. Jock was dismissed.

That's one of denying a friend request...

Gyrfalcon: The Onion is prophetic: He had to check Facebook to see if he knew anyone in the trial? WTF?

Behold the complete stupidity of the "computer savvy" generation.

They are "computer savvy" in the same way that a guy who can flick a light switch controls electricity.

Want "computer savvy"? Find the guy who owned a TRS-80.

If that is her, then I am guessing this genius figured he would talk to her on facebook, try to "help her out" if she "helps him out".

when they question me for jury duty, I tell them I have a "system" figured out. When they ask me about it, I tell them "I vote guilty every,, single,, time,," (gotta say it with a straight and serious face)Thank you for your time you are dismissed.

Ah, he'll yeah. Mine was a TRS-80 Color Computer with 16 smoking K of RAM. That bad boy plugged right into the television, where I could sit on the floor and program in advanced Basic.

Couldn't afford a floppy disk drive, so I saved programs to an audio cassette on my mom's tape recorder.

God dammit trying that again:

I had to type in the programs on the TRS-80 over and over because it didn't have a floppy or a tape drive. *sniff*

I remember the ole 'trash' 80's-I thought they weren't bad actually. Remember playing Oregon Trail?

Ahhh, those were the days. I loved listening to the squawk of audible-frequency bits transferring to my TI-99/4A.

I actually still have a TI-99/4A -the old metal case one. Today it reminds me of hipster stainless steel kitchen appliances.

Not impressed.

i served on a jury about a month ago. It was the most awful experience of my life. The charges were 2 counts of sexual battery against a child less than 12 years of age. The guy was a total scumbag but we had to let him go. We deliberated for 2 hours and we were all sick about the verdict. It wasn't difficult to follow the judge's orders to not investigate the defendant on our own...what was difficult was to not discuss the case among ourselves in between sessions. It was all any of us jurors had in common really, so the small talk was really awkward. "what do you do?" "got any kids?" "that's nice". ....

ugh it was just awful.

there was this one guy during the voir dire that was all proud about having vandalized his mother's house because she was, and i quote "a dumb biatch that got what she deserved".... then there was the old senile guy that couldn't hear. The guy that didn't understand English.... also something i thought was interesting... they didn't pick anyone who said they watched a lot of crime dramas. i guess those people expect too much from the system?

Beware the myspace angle.

He got out of jury. He's dumb like a fox.

Anyways, many Americans no longer even understand the reasons jury trials exist and they don't even know what Jury Nullification is.

Butterflew: The guy was a total scumbag but we had to let him go.

Care to elaborate? And by that I mean did the prosecution drop the ball or was their a lack of evidence, etc.

CarriePrejean : Beware the myspace angle.

Except that's straight on face pic, not the MySpace angle.

(For those who don't know, the MySpace angle is when a chick holds a camera above her at a downward angle in order to hide extra chins and accentuate the cleavage.)

A quick Google search yielded a Twitter account for said woman... not sure if it's the same person, but she's smoking hot.

I never understand why people hate jury duty. Except for those poor folks who get caught up in months long federal trials. I was called to be a juror twice. I found it fascinating. The first was a rape trial that lasted 3 days. The second only lasted half a day because they made some agreement. But I found both experiences worth while. Not good, but worthwhile. The rape case was disturbing but I still would not have missed it.

This. It's a civic duty. Wouldn't you want someone like you to be on your jury?

I've done it twice and would do it every time.

As opposed to the complete stupidity throughout every other generation.

I believe the comment is pointing out the irony of a member of the "computer savvy" generation knowing not much more about a computer than booting up and clicking an icon.

Cue Captain Obvious

I thought that hair covering the face counted. My bad.

It depends. For example, not bad;
