How NOT to Get Out of Jury Duty
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- "Jury Duty" on Amazon's Freevee is so fake that it's actually pretty real. Ronald Gladden is surrounded by actors who push the limits of decency as they half-heartedly undertake their civic duty, and prospective juror Noah is willing to sacrifice his dignity if it means getting out of jury duty and going on a vacation with his girlfriend.
His grand plan rests on proclaiming that he's a racist to disqualify him from serving on the jury -- an idea he and others got from watching Peter Griffin in Family Guy. Considering that a full quarter of prospective jurors in the US don't respond to their summons, Noah's attempt to dodge a responsibility he doesn't want isn't far from reality.

"your honor , I know what jury nullification is and I will take every chance I can to educate everyone else"
@kazewarrior 93 Oh yeah man they hate that shiza. I seen a guy handing out little books at the courthouse and they told him he had to leave and he told me what to say. I took his advice,I never had to serve one day so far. Seriously they get so upset lol
@@Nae_Ayydo tell
i think in a free country we have the right to learn about their rights. we pay taxes
Exactly. Our jury has the power to ignore the law...Judge: goodbye!
My dad would say he fully supports the death penalty to get out of it
I fully support the death penalty for free, I’m set.
plot twist: the person on trial is a serial killer and the death penalty is a very possible outcome
Agreed
That actually works. You can also say if the cops arrested them, they're obviously guilty. Don't ask me how I know.
"Sir, there are multiple homicide chsrges in Texas."
If u want to get out of jury duty just ask this question "what's jury nullification and please explain it?" They will drop u as quickly as they can
Jury duty is great - it's the one time you can, with complete safety and impunity, tell the government NO. Of course only if it is justifiable to do so, don't use jury nullification just because you can, but if you feel it is proper and just to do so, then do it and don't be shy about it.
Well, the other 11 have to agree with you, but sure.
@@davidtucker9498 You can't leave until everyone agrees, so if you stick to it there's a good chance the others will go along
I have crohns disease and told them i couldnt promise that i could stay on the bench without a 30 minute impromptu shit break. Havent got a notice since.
Bring up "Jury Nullification" the prosecutor and kangaroo court ringmaster known as A judge will not be able to throw you out fast enough. Some judges may even threaten you with contempt. Juries are composed of people literally too ignorant and/or too stupid to get out of jury duty.
I hate jury duty because I don’t have a car and my jury duty always 2 hours away with on a bus. People probably would do it if it not so "inconvenient ".
That’s so me rn. That was going to be my excuse as to why I couldn’t do it, sad to see if didn’t work for you
They should really pay you your equivalent hourly wage.
I actually want to be called for jury duty at least once just to see what it might be like. My brother has been called more than I had but he couldn't do it because of college.
I sat on a jury of a murder case in Manhattan, I must say, that was a very interesting experience.
I received my jury summons. I also applied for vacation from work just in case I don’t get called. I will get paid for a full week’s work.
I was called for jury duty in the UK basically just after I turned 18, I went along and found out that they actually pay everyone's wages for the time they are off here so it was actually a pretty interesting experience
Not in US you get 9 dollars a day 😂
@@stayswervin554 yeah I would just not turn up that's unreasonable. You know I feel bad cus if Europe just funded their own military the US wouldn't have to spend half its GDP on it and you would be able to have our heathcare systems and they would be able to pay for stuff like that.
@@hedgehogguy1669 I’ve said similar things but I think what’s more important is getting rid of the debt.
Europe needs to invest in defence not America and America needs to pay off its debt our leaders are gonna put us in poverty with this money printing nonsense
@@stayswervin554 oh yeah I forgot about that, most countries in Europe did that too, every time you go to the shop everything cost more here.
I was called for jury duty earlier this year and actually ended up on the jury. I know what jury nullification is and I was prepared to exercise my right as one of the 12 most powerful people in that room. The case ended up being one that I would never use nullification on, but still I knew my rights and responsibilities as a conscientious juror.
One bonus is that because I'm a salaried engineer I was paid for the whole week I was on the jury.
Simple, pay people properly for their time and do away with the systems where you have to call daily for weeks to see if you're called. Also. Stop requiring night shift and graveyard workers to be there at eight in the freaking morning.
Agreed… it’s like they make it painfully inconvenient on purpose
I told them I had a bias against the police and believe in jury nullification and was prepared to use it. They didn’t bother me again.
I had a friend who announced that if there was unsupported police testimony, he would vote to acquit even if he believed he was guilty. Excused.
I got selected as a juror once. I was honestly upset with the prosecution for not leveling more charges that were easier to prove against the defendant. We were let go later that day since there was a mix-up with procedural paperwork. It was an interesting experience. For two days (selection & 2/3 day of trial).
I worked hourly my first time on jury.
I was there for a short trial (2 weeks), and they paid me $115 for those 2 weeks.
I lost out on over $1400 in wages. Had to use every cent I had managed to save up to stay caught up on my bills.
My Grandpa would tell me, just tell them you'd be perfect for jury duty because you can tell a guilty person just by looking at them. 😂
I get the summons and then forget about them
What would your dad think, as a local cop in the jail. If the defendant was found not guilty.
Me: we'll get him next time.
had Jury duty once.
the defender was really bad.
took 2 days for no real reason.
police had no evidence (just their own report).
felt like a total waste of my time.
dont trust common people to actually know the law well enough.
dont trust the court to not be courupt.
dont have a real answer.
I still don't know how it's justifiable that you must attend Jury Duty but must also give up the usual wage,
I mean, the one time I was summoned was 4 months after moving 1.3k miles out of state.....
Yeah, I didn't go
I told the judge that I was eager to serve my civic duty.
Not selected. 😂
My brother is a long haul truck driver who routinely has to cross the entire country. He has just been summomed for jury duty for the SECOND TIME in his young life after being excused the first time due to his career making remaining in one state for the duration of a trial impossible... meanwhile, none of the rest of my locally employed household have been summoned for court in over 30 years. Perhaps some common sense would go a long way here.
I just wished they gave me more than 1 night notice of jury duty, i work in a nail salon and i cant really cancel my appointments last minute
Never once got called for Jury Duty, yet everyone I know without a vehicle has been called multiple times. Weird how I've heard everyone get called at least once but I've never even had one summons in my life so far.
Once you see the corruption and criminal activity committed by so many lawyers and judges (officers of the court) day in and day out, you don't feel so bad about figuring out a way to get out of jury duty.
you just tell them you are a firm believer in jury nullification and then see itf they pick you . most likly they wont
I was excited for jury duty. Then they canceled the trial before it even began. No idea why, but I was just told to not report. :C
My guess for what happened there is that either the defendant pleaded guilty or if it's a civil case, the defendant settled out of court.
It is actually very common for civil cases to be resolved out of court as litigation is very expensive so both parties have a huge incentive to figure it out diplomatically instead.
But yeah, I can see how the situation would be frustrating for you.
I've been called to jury duty around 15 or 20 times. They send a card in the mail with a date and a phone number. You call the night before and they either say when and what room to report or they say that you don't have to report. I always get the don't have to report recording.
The courts summon people against their God given free will to refuse not to go, if you don't show up, you either go to jail or pay fine or both, it's called entrapment! Tell the court system to pick college students/graduates that have or currently studied law, criminal behavior/ psychology and they will get their experts.
And people wonder why the system doesn't work 😴 The people themselves can't even be bothered to take part when they are screaming for justice and are able to be part of it
I think that's the most ironic, albeit tragic, aspect of it.
I’m not entirely sure what the “message” is here. Do you think randomly selected citizen juries shouldn’t be how the US does trials? Or are you just mentioning that it’s a necessary inconvenience.
In either case, it’s pretty ridiculous that businesses aren’t required to give their employees paid time off if they’re summoned (like maternity leave (if maternity leave wasn’t broken af in America anyway lol)), since it’s non optional.
Juries would probably be more focused on doing their job if they weren’t worrying about how soon they can be done with it lol.
Jury duty is slavery. Abolish jury duty.
Yeah, I'm not sure what the point of this video is either, really.
As for the other bits; businesses aren't required to compensate the employees for the duty, the state is supposed to. Problem is their compensation is crap.
Maternity leave is another matter, however, as that's voluntary. No business should be forced at gunpoint to be responsible for their employee's life choices.
And yeah, a jury would be more focused if the state wasn't a broken, crappy mess that can't order staples without f'ing it up. Then there's the whole thing about jury selection and biases and... bla bla bla.
@@evilblackcat6357 Ean for maternity leave. As a society we should be providing for pregnant woman and new fathers. Pretty much every civilized society has agreed upon it. Except America for some reason.
Not to mention if you get pay it's not worth jack shit because you have to be away from work thus loose wages from that. All for something like 300 dollars if that. Some court cases can take months. Also no matter what the jury says the judge can essentially do whatever the fuck they want. Which can include throwing out a case that is against a person responsible for stealing well over 100,000 dollars from citizens. Being held on 10,000 dollars bail as the bail was sent to high and unfair. Yes the State of Vermont did that just recently with a pair of thieves responsible for a large string of breakings including one carjacking. 2 of the ones that were stolen from caught up with one of the thieves and beat the shit out of the bastard and put him in the hospital. Which could have been avoided if the judge had sentenced the crooks to jail time.
I was on a State of NJ Grand Jury for 18 weeks. One day each week for 18 weeks. Was it fun? No. Worst environment with way too much heat and boring monotone prosecutor. Sleepy as all heck. Heard a lot of bull during those weeks. But I learned a lot of shady places to avoid.
Never tried to get out of jury duty. Saw it as a day off from work. For some jobs thats been paid days off.
Ah, a part of responsible adult life that I haven’t had to do yet. Feels good. I would trade it for taxes though.
Just say you took criminal justice(not law) in college.
My degree has gotten me out of jury duty every time. So a total of 9 times now.
Why do people repeatedly bring up jury nullification. It's been mentioned once so don't mention it again. By the level of intelligence shown in the comments I would prefer a judge only trial. Seriously, some of you have some major issues.
My father was a cop in 2 states, and i have a cousin who was a convicted cross-burner. (Literally)
I've received 2 jury summons in my life. I have received 2 notices, telling me that my service would not be needed.
No cringe. It's a good show.
Here's a recommendation: BlackBerry, it's hard to describe the movie but it's an interesting look at the rise and fall of Research in Motion.
Wait, are wages supposed to be covered?
I did it about 12 years ago and I can honestly say it was the most boring 2 weeks of my life. While you wait to be called if your lucky enough to get in a case. I sit in a windowless room all day in case your name is called. I sat like this for 10 days. I sat in a jury the case lasted 2 days, the chairs were hard and uncomfortable, never ever again. We were not allowed out to get some air or use the canteen.
I'd love to be in a jury at least once. The only time i ever got a summons it was canceled 😞

Now ya see me, now ya don’t!” 🎶
There is no way to prove that you got the letter unless it was sent as a piece of certified mail, if you get the jury duty letter and don't want to go DON'T GO. If I see that letter in any of my friends or family's house I take it and throw it away after destroying it.
I wanted to do mine, but I missed an email and was already replaced when I showed up.
My excuse is to say that I was effected by the crime but it wouldn’t have any affect on my judgment about the case…
Jury duty probably wouldn't be as bad if you were actually paid to be there.
i'm sorry, was that james marsden on 00:39? or am i juat tripping?
It was. This is from a show on Prime called Jury Duty. It's all fake except for one juror (Ronald) who doesn't know it's fake. It's great.
Just tell them about jury nullification and that you intend to use it
It is unbelievably moronic to allow a jury of our peers to decide our fate. The vast majority couldn't explain the law broken to save their lives.
For you, it's not about explaining the law, it's about following instructions.
Ronald is sooo perfect... I just fell in love with him
I went to Jury Duty twice and it was the most boring crap and I only got paid $12 a day for attending.
I find Jury duty too be MORE important than voting in a country built on civil law. Each case is an act of making law. You are apart of a legislative arm of the judicial branch
Can you vote that you don't care in jury duty because you were forced to do jury duty
Jurors are the cattle of the legal system. The fates of defendants and litigants are supposedly in their hands, but they need permission to use the toilet.
Get out of it real easy,, you tell them you know what the yellow trim around our flag means
Just be honest, itll keep you out of it.
I jjst said i dotm ahve a car and they didnt want me at all 😔
Lmfaooooooooooooooooooo !
Just become a felon. Works for me.
I enjoyed my 1 time
W Noah
Make all paedophile cases have a jury. I bet their be a q the length of the street .
That show is so staged
Your summation is kinda bad by the way
Is Jury Duty an American thing?
Every American who shirks jury duty should lose his privilege to vote permanently.
