Just beat Jury Service!! Yayyy!!!

[Gym beast]

So you don't see any value in a jury? And you don't think you should do anything for the wider benefit of society?

I see no value in a system that ALLOWS people as smart as myself to beat it.



Wider benefit of society? I'd start by giving those same fat frumps a diet plan on Jury Service to make them less wide, and hopefully/eventually give my fellow man some eye candy.

I think a copy of Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Littlejohn will do it, should get that from the charity shop. Might pull out the big guns and take Machiavelli.

Go the whole hog, and take a copy of Mein Kampf. In German

Ever played cricket at a near professional basis?

Sent the usual crap about"We cannot spare X's services as his absence at an ill-timed point could result in catastrophic consequences" blah blah....


EXCUSED.


Let the fat frump housewives get off their cellulite-ridden rumps and earn their keep for a change, I'm gonna be sitting at a pavement cafe' sipping Moccacino or San Miguel while all those 15stone + Sharons/Geraldines/etc sit around deciding the fate of some rapist ha!!!

I believe lying to the CPS to get out of Jury Duty counts as Contempt of Court. Probably not something to be bragging about on a public forum

Really?

• "One should refrain from murdering other people" - "It's mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining. I have no intention of ever doing it."
  
  
• "One should refrain from breaking into a house and stealing their telly" - "It's mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining. I have no intention of ever doing it."
  
  
• "One should refrain from forcing other motorists off the road so that they crash into trees or dry stone walls" - "It's mandatory with threats of imprisonment for declining. I have no intention of ever doing it."

At least be honest, and say that you have no intention of doing it because you don't give a tulip. Don't pretend it's because you have some high and mighty theory about the Rights of Man.

That's a dum**** response (straw man).

When doing jury service you are compelled to judge whether a crime has been committed according to the law, which is not the same as judging whether the act should actually be considered a crime in the first place.

1) I'll not participate in condemning men for victimless crimes.
2) If someone wants my assistance they can ask me nicely. Compelling me to attend is a crime (if we're actually interested in justice, and not arbitrary preferences) in and of itself.

You propose to see justice by threatening peaceful men with violence if they don't participate? The joke's on you my friend.

I plead insanity & I've got the strait jacket to prove it.

Seems to work.

YMMV

To be fair eating the Clerk of the Court may have helped on that.

You sounded familiar, until the disdain for plumpers was mentioned

[BrilloPad]

I can't wait for jury service. I am a permie.

I would find the accused innocent. I hate courts and the police.

I liked your post because i hate the police too, from the limited dealings I've had with them, and I'm not even blick!

[original PM]

I really just can't even........


reading between the lines what we seem to have is a lot of people who feel they are far to good to even consider doing something for the community.

lovely bunch of self centred spoilt little rich kids!
