Being forced into a courtroom with the threat of imprisonment and fines? Imagine if everything in the USA was like that... would you still think its acceptable?
The difference between being required to serve jury duty and "everything else in the USA", is that juries are the backbone of our legal system where we're judged by our peers, instead of allowing petty king judges total rule over our legal system. We should work to make it easier and more desirable to be selected for jury duty (increase jurors per diem allowance, force employers to pay full wages during jury duty, and force employers to retain employment for those serving on a jury for instance) so that way some wouldn't see completely ignoring jury duty as a reasonable option to take. We should make being a participating member of our democracy more valuable, instead of relying on punishments
If you were wrongly convicted of a crime, you’d want a Jury there to give you a fair trial. That’s how the justice system works bud. If you prefer unfair trials you could always move to a totalitarian country where you have no rights.
Acts and statues require consent. Legal acts are not law until you sign up for it. A summons, an order, mandation, legislation is someone ASKING / REQUESTING you to do something through language and symbol You dont have to do jury duty or anything contractual. The piece of paper has no meaning until it is signed. The prison system is one of the most profitable in the world. Murders, rapists and paedos are the product that they make money from. @@tacobell.gourmand
i believe the point of the process of picking a certain person is to eliminate those who are more likely to judge on a whim..aka religious beliefs and obviously more. They try to pick those who won't judge on a whim. In practice this sounds like it would work but I've neither been prosecuted by a jury or been a part of a jury.
I'm in New York and nobody I know responds to what i consider to be the recipient's decision. I think serving on jury duty should be a choice and not a demand!
I recently got called for jury duty. It was clear that some people intentionally said things to get them excused, like one woman saying she would know if someone was guilty or innocent by looking at them. If you show up on time, then you're more likely to get chosen. If you are a caregiver of someone else, then you will likely get excused. If, say, you run a child care center with 200 kids, then you will likely get excused. If you are or look over 70 years old, then you likely get excused, or if you have a financial hardship.
This is the 3rd time that I got a JURY DUTY notice and I can honestly tell you IT IS NOT AN HONOR ... Its BORING as all HELL!!! I wish they would call someone else.
I got a notice of jury duty… I’m in the middle of an active murder case… My daughter was murdered and after three years there are no convictions so the case is still active… I can’t even function in my life… I will not make a good juror
Got picked for jury duty myself, glad I didn't have to go through the murder trial back in town. I still want to know though what stressors may ensure.
I've been called twice...went in once...never questioned..just kept in a room. Second time I was on call...and I never went in...they cancelled on me twice with this time. WTF? I would like to actually do it..not just be told I might get to do it and never do it. I don't really get it cause neither time was I even questioned! I don't understand people that don't want to do it...but I also was interested in being a lawyer when I was younger...maybe that's why I want it. And I guess you are a lawyer...and that's exactly why you think it's. an honor to do it I imagine.
I wasn’t even trying to get excused but I know my biases and can admit them. I told them my political/social biases and concerns and they let me stay on the jury. I think it’s because I distrust the plaintiff, the defendant, and the courts equally, making it not biased, so they let me stay I guess. I figured that ,objectively speaking, my biases would not be compatible with the case I’m in, but I guess the lawyers and judge were ok with it. I’m so confused by that alone but I guess it can be an opportunity
dude it's not a privilege if your not getting paid by your employer and you support yourself! I make $400 day and you pay me $10 you want to pay my bills! I'm biased!!
Show up at court and just refuse the illegal search getting into the court building because as a citizen you have the Constitutional right to refuse any search.
Not a privilege at all. Judges just want to be out of obligation to serve verdicts of their sole, and own judgement and conscience. What if you don't get paid by your job , how can you pay for your rent???
Right! I'm so offended of my summons! My employer doesn't pay me n I'm single this is ridiculous. I make $400 day and I'm expected to be okay with their crapy $20. Do they want to pay my rent!
Thank You for your Extremely Informative Videos. You seem to be a Brilliant Attorney. I would like to see VIDEOS THAT ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would please answer the following questions. My Private Attorney seems to be a Lazy Negligent Incompetent Attorney. I had NO PRIORS, so I had no prior experience with Attorneys. I would like to know what constitutes a Good Private Attorney? In particular, what constitutes a Good Private Criminal Defense Attorney? Under what circumstances should you Fire your Private Criminal Defense Attorney? What would YOU do if you had a Criminal Defense Attorney such as mine? I would like to know what to do to build a Case for Ineffective Assistance Of Counsel now while I am still a Pre-Trial Defendant? My Private Criminal Defense Attorney is so Bad, that I’m thinking about just going with a Public Defender; what constitutes a Good Public Defender? I have a Private Criminal Defense Attorney who:
1)Is so DISORGANIZED that he CANNOT FIND the WRITTEN FACTS OF MY CASE even after dozens and dozens of hours of looking for the Document, such that now the Document is essentially lost. I remembered the Facts when the Document was written, but now I do not remember many of the Important Facts. And of course my lazy Attorney does NOT remember the Facts either. Isn’t an Attorney supposed to be Organized and Easily Find the Written Facts of his Client’s Case?
2)One of my Attorneys Took Notes and Wrote my initial Statement Of Facts regarding my Case, but after that Attorney left the Organization, my present Private Attorney Lazily REFUSED TO TAKE ANY NOTES about the remaining FACTS OF MY CASE. And when at my request my Attorney came to see me to hear me talk about the remaining FACTS OF MY CASE, my Attorney lazily REFUSED TO TAKE NOTES, saying that he would Remember everything I said; then later HE FORGOT MOST OF WHAT I HAD SAID. Also regarding the Appointments to hear the remaining Facts Of my Case, my Attorney arrived Late, took a Long Lunch, and Left Early to go Play Basketball, etc.; he was Extremely Well-Paid for all of that. Isn’t an Attorney supposed to Take Detailed Notes regarding the Facts of his Client’s Case?
3)I had a WILLING CRUCIAL WITNESS whom MY ATTORNEY REFUSED TO BOTHER TO INTERVIEW, and he even Refused to take her Contact Information. Isn’t an Attorney supposed to Interview and keep Contact Information regarding Crucial Witnesses?
4)Without my permission or knowledge MY ATTORNEY PUT MY DIARIES ON THE PUBLIC RECORD,. Right after my Attorney put my Diaries on the Public Record I told him to immediately Remove them, but he Refused. Now myriad People Hate Me because of things in the Diaries, and they have made Threats to Harm Me and Other People mentioned in the Diaries. My Attorney says he can't Remove My Diaries from the Public Record without permission from the Prosecutor, and my Attorney says we have to give the Prosecutor extraordinarily good reasons to Remove the Diaries. Isn’t it a Violation of Attorney-Client Privilege for an Attorney to place a Client’s Documents on the Public Record without permission from the Client? If an Attorney places Documents in the Court File, can’t he remove those Documents unilaterally without the Prosecutor agreeing to that removal?
5)It seems that my Attorney engaged in IMPROPER BILLING. My Attorney charged my Parents Exorbitant Amounts Of Money to Represent me, and my Attorney told my Parents he needed Money to do things on my Case at the same time my Attorney was telling me that he was NOT doing anything on my Case. What should be done regarding an Attorney who Improperly Bills?
6)My Attorney told me he could get me a PLEA BARGAIN which seemed like a really good Plea Bargain to me, but he tried to Dissuade me from taking a PLEA BARGAIN. Then later he said he would NOT be able to get a Plea Bargain; he seems to want to go to Trial, and I think it is just that he will get a lot more Money from a Trial. Do Attorneys typically get more Money from a Trial as opposed to a Plea Bargain?
7)Generally my Attorney DOES NOT COMMUNICATE with me. Generally my Attorney says he does NOT read my Mail, read my Email, nor listen to my Voice Mail. What should be done regarding an Attorney who Refuses to Communicate with his Client?
You should immediately report this attorney to the bar association. Find out his bar number and report him. Then, get another lawyer. The first red flag of a bad attorney is that they never answer your questions.
You don’t get details but you have an idea what the case is about. The questions asked are personal questions relating to you such as how long have you been living there,have you been involved in domestic violence or a crime, etc
They read the charges but you are told to assume and presume the defendant is innocent until The people prove their burden. You are not given evidence only read the charges
I told the judge I was a rapper and they removed me from the jury 😂
LMAO

Lucky to have it? So you don't want to be judged by a professional but instead get judged on a whim of some random people?
Idk seems weird to me.
i believe the point of the process of picking a certain person is to eliminate those who are more likely to judge on a whim..aka religious beliefs and obviously more. They try to pick those who won't judge on a whim. In practice this sounds like it would work but I've neither been prosecuted by a jury or been a part of a jury.

Great video, very informative and well done. See you on jury.
Thank you so much for the videos, I recently found your channel (I'm in South Africa) and you explain everything so well

oops now i know one reason i was chosen🤣
@@aslan9334 Hi! I have a question as previous jury. Who would you believe between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp?
I just recently got a notice that I was "summoned" as a standby Juror. I got out of that faster then I received the letter.
I had got one too.
@@TrueDarkness789 yah. Definitely bs and it's impossible for me to go. Not that i would want to go anyways.
Thank you, this video has helped to calm my anxiety. I have to attend jury duty selection this morning for the very first time.
How was it? How did you feel
This is the 3rd time that I got a JURY DUTY notice and I can honestly tell you IT IS NOT AN HONOR ... Its BORING as all HELL!!! I wish they would call someone else.
How do they choose the first group?
I got a notice of jury duty… I’m in the middle of an active murder case… My daughter was murdered and after three years there are no convictions so the case is still active… I can’t even function in my life… I will not make a good juror
i don't why they don't look into that before they force you to go and waste your time
Privilege? Missing a day of work because of that? That all you get is 9 dollars. You want me on a jury you’ll pay me what wages I will miss .
@@auroraprs9133 Yes. That's what I got for one day.
Got picked for jury duty myself, glad I didn't have to go through the murder trial back in town. I still want to know though what stressors may ensure.
organized that I understood the whole program very well. Thank you very much!
If you work for the Department of Corrections as civilians, do you get voted out?
I hope I do good. I just hope it’s not anything serious I don’t wana have to go through something heartbreaking
Just got the paper in the mail.. Get out of work and free lunch? All for it
I would love to sit on a jury.
I wish the courts allowed us to Apply for jury duty.
I've been called twice...went in once...never questioned..just kept in a room. Second time I was on call...and I never went in...they cancelled on me twice with this time. WTF? I would like to actually do it..not just be told I might get to do it and never do it. I don't really get it cause neither time was I even questioned!

And I guess you are a lawyer...and that's exactly why you think it's. an honor to do it I imagine.
Do you know what the case is about before they start asking questions
the one i sat on was 6. traffic court.
Does he get paid? (The juror)
yeah they do but only like $60 a day
Here it is $10 !!!
You guys are getting paid?😳
I wasn’t even trying to get excused but I know my biases and can admit them. I told them my political/social biases and concerns and they let me stay on the jury. I think it’s because I distrust the plaintiff, the defendant, and the courts equally, making it not biased, so they let me stay I guess. I figured that ,objectively speaking, my biases would not be compatible with the case I’m in, but I guess the lawyers and judge were ok with it. I’m so confused by that alone but I guess it can be an opportunity
dude it's not a privilege if your not getting paid by your employer and you support yourself! I make $400 day and you pay me $10 you want to pay my bills! I'm biased!!
I got put on standby so i will wait untill call me in
Show up at court and just refuse the illegal search getting into the court building because as a citizen you have the Constitutional right to refuse any search.
It’s not a privilege it takes bread from my family. I would hate to know I had a jury of folks who didn’t wanna be there
thank you for this information, most videos I came across were trying to prove some political agenda.
Not a privilege at all. Judges just want to be out of obligation to serve verdicts of their sole, and own judgement and conscience. What if you don't get paid by your job , how can you pay for your rent???

UA-cam has this titled as "the jury's secret " the full movie. What a disappointment
So Depp v turd got me here
That’s a sad state of affairs if people’s first thought is how to get out of a bedrock principle in our country.
