mraf Posted October 9, 2015 #26 Posted October 9, 2015 I was called up for jury duty at our town level once many years ago. I was a little late in getting there. The room was filled with seats and most of them were taken but a few near the back. The local judge comes into the room and says " Is there any reason you people sitting in the front row of chairs can't be here" Of course no one said a word. That was it. The jury was selected. Ever since then I never sit up front for anything!
SilvrT Posted October 9, 2015 #27 Posted October 9, 2015 Being a witness pays better! I got a full days pay from the courts, was only there 1 hour, never had to testify, got a free lunch, full BBQ Chicken meal of my choice, in the restaurant across the street from the court house. also the company I worked for paid me for the day. Made out like a bandit. You should be ashamed of yourself for taking advantage of what is your civic duty! :no-no-no: :stickpoke:
