Like he'll actually serve. 90% of the time I hear about celebrities being called for jury duty, they don't end up serving.

If the Jews don't fit, you must acquit.

Mugato: PizzaJedi81: Like he'll actually serve. 90% of the time I hear about celebrities being called for jury duty, they don't end up serving.

I would think it'd be easy for anyone to get out of jury duty if they try. Just act crazy or racist or tell them you watch all of the CSI shows.

It's easier than that. Just pretend you have been personally impacted by the crime in question. "I lost a dear friend of mine to a jaywalker. I can still see that scofflaw crossing the street in front of us."

/I mentioned once -- quite honestly -- that I lost an aunt to a drunk driver in 1972, when I was seven years old. That was enough to let me off of jury duty for a drunk driving trial.
//I seriously didn't even mind serving, and knew for a fact that I could come to an impartial decision. But hey, maybe the defense attorney thought I'd have flashbacks or something.

Has Mel Gibson taken US citizenship? I didn't think non-citizens could serve on juries.

Even easier - have a cop in the family. Pretty much gets you dismissed from any criminal trail. Civil is another matter, and those are way more boring...

Where will they find Jews in Hollywood?

Was there more to that headline than I saw?

Nogale: Has Mel Gibson taken US citizenship? I didn't think non-citizens could serve on juries.

He's from New York, He was born American.

FTFY

do that, or just don't show up... I've probably been called 5 times, and have never even attempted to go... Never heard about it again... I hope a warrant isn't out for me.

Am I weird for WANTING to serve on Jury Duty? I'm weird, aren't I?

He'll have a hard time with the case anyway.
It was a Jewlerly store robbery in July on Juniper Dr. where the perp, Julie J, was caught running from the store, only after she spilled juice on a passerby that reported her.

Phoenix_M: Nogale: Has Mel Gibson taken US citizenship? I didn't think non-citizens could serve on juries.

My mistake. I thought he was born in Australia.

Best way to get out of jury duty is to have an education. My dad gets called all the time. As soon as they find out he is a CPA he gets tossed. He is usually back by noon. If that werent enough he is a far right winger whos favorite TV shows are Matlock and NCIS reruns but they never get that far.

No way in hell he will ever sit on a jury.

...demands to be blown first

As a juror or defendant?

Yes.

Apos: Gibson's most significant role since Braveheart.

Apakalypto was amazing.

If the schwanz if clipped, you can't acquit!

Lame headline.

/Not a Gibson defender, but I know unfunny when I read it

As someone who was stuck in dingy jury room in Los Angeles County, they have posters of a bunch of celebrities who have served on juries (or at least shown up and were dismissed) as some sort of ringing endorsement of your civic duty as a juror. It's very goofy. But I admit, how awesome would it be if Harrison Freaking Ford was your jury foreman? "You didn't kill your wife!"

Trocadero: But I admit, how awesome would it be if Harrison Freaking Ford was your jury foreman? "You didn't kill your wife!"

If it was in Montana and not L.A. he might actually do it.

Well, you might be weird (no comment), but I was disappointed when I was called for jury duty but they didn't end up using me. I wanted to see what it was like.
People thought my awe-shucks finger snap was sarcastic, so they laughed, but it wasn't. :(

Sugar torts.

Scary thought of the day:
Glenn Beck once sat as a juror. If I remember right it was about 10 years or so ago. I can't remember the charges but I'm fairly sure they convicted and gave the death penalty.

Mugato: Voodoo_Stu: I was disappointed when I was called for jury duty but they didn't end up using me

There is a bit of rejection involved, isn't there? Even though I wasn't even interviewed because they had enough people, I still drunk dialed the courthouse.

Yeah, they call you there to judge somebody then they end up judging you. Bastards.

/Hey, I guess I'm judging them too!
//better than being judged by a jury.
///judge is a funny word.
////judge

I'm pretty sure he can get out of it. He's a well known anti-Semite and misogynist.

He seems to hate British colonialism more than anything else.

Has the jury come to a decision?

According to a Jury Summons notice on the desk in front of me:
Failure to comply may subject you to a $100.00 fine and you may be found in contempt of court.

Are you familiar with the term "Bench Warrant"?

Just something to consider.

Oh come on - the actor Mel Gibson must be dying to bring his Borat-like anti-semitic character "Mel Gibson" to a courthouse. The hilarity . . .

I'd hate to be a celebrity and have shiat like TMZ document my every movement. Who gives a damn if he is called as a juror.

Apocalypso was better.

/True story, Jimmy Buffett and I are members of the same fraternity.

Jaywalking.

I'm sure the defendant, Saul Goldstein, is a little nervous.

I remember that. I believe the case was about a little girl who was raped and murdered in 1990. They never did find the real killer though. So they just blamed it on the black guy.

I wouldn't trust someone who shoots first and asks questions later.

Well then, it is a good thing that Greedo shot first.
