Forget the Defendant, I’m the Insane One
Fun March 9th, 2009
Listen up, folks. I have to report for jury duty tomorrow. I was hoping they wouldn’t even want my number, but I checked the court’s website and I’m in the range of like ten thousand people they want to show up.
I promise I will do my civic duty to the best of my ability should I get selected. But, seriously. Would you want me on your jury, knowing I have done the following?
1. I’ve been taking pictures of a plastic bag in a tree for nearly a year.
2. I ate a Beggin’ Strip dog treat.
3. I once apologized to a plumber for a fart my cat left.
4. I see things in my food.
5. I find shredding paper one of life’s greatest joys.
6. I left outdoor pumpkins to rot in a Christmas display.
7. I interviewed a dog.
8. I got lost two tenths of a mile from my house.
9. I seat-belt my food in the car.
10. I marvel at my cats’ pee.
Really, now. Don’t you think I should get a pass for all that? All aboard the crazy train!
Stumble it!

I made it to Number 2. Oh wait…that sounds bad.
Anyway, take plenty of reading material. Even a laptop can be used during the non-busy times but not to get on Net. Take a gameboy. just keep the sound muted.
I have been called 4 times and never selected. I like the day off.
Have fun people watching as well. It was the most fun. Trying to see who will be selected.
March 9th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
It could be that you’ll be chosen BECAUSE of all that you’ve done. What if the case involves a plastic bag full of Beggin’ Strips that accidentally got shredded after it was left outside to rot? And the only evidence was an evil fart and the picture left behind of a face in one of the Beggin’ Strips? You’ll be the best juror on the case!

Unfortunately they don’t ask you about those things even though you would think those things would be important.
Unfortunately the only thing the court is worried about is if you are breathing. And sometimes they even mess that up by sending jury duty notices to dead people.
You could always walk in talking to yourself and employ various facial ticks. Or you could go the prejudice route and every time they ask you a question you reply with the most prejudiced answer you can think of. (Probably not a good tactic if you arrived at the courthouse alone and will be leaving alone.)
You could bring a good book or hand held video game for the down town time. But when I’ve been in court I prefer to people watch. I’ve had jury duty once in Chicago, but I’ve been in court more times than I can count for my divorce, custody and support issues. I always arrive early because I love to people watch. I never knew that in Will County they do all sorts of criminal cases in the courtroom they hear emergency order of protection (EOP) cases. The criminal cases were fascinating, the EOP’s were heartbreaking. Some of the most fascinating people wind up in court. It’s great sport to watch what goes on.

I would want you on my jury precisely because of those things since it is likely that I have done and probably would have done something just as bizarre to get myself in court to begin with.
Take a book and carve our your personal space as soon as you get there. Bring a few cat farts with you to maintain your personal space. The other potential jurors are probably not nearly as sane as you.

I love jury duty – well, let me clarify – I don’t like waiting there all day to see if I get selected for a jury but, once I’m selected, I find the whole process mesmerizing. The other jurors, the judge, the lawyers and (in criminal cases) the defendants and (in civil cases) the litigants. The whole thing is fascinating.
March 9th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
I thought I was the only crazy one. I lived in Jersey long, long ago and they had the misfortune of requesting my presence 15 times. I served on a jury 9 times, that has to be some sort of record. It got so bad that I just drove my car to the steps of the courthouse and the court clerk would yell, “leave the car there Donna, I’ll park it in it’s usual spot and have it warmed
up and ready for you when you’re done” I’d call back, “thanks Frank, see you in a couple of hours” Then I would go in and start writing out my Christmas cards even though it was July. I would loudly exclaim to anyone who would listen, ” I figure I’d get a jump start on these, it looks like we’re gonna be here a while, that guy looks as guilty as hell but he’s got a shifty lawyer” They let me out a few times with that one. Go figure, they don’t seem to want crazies in the courthouse. OR, here’s another one, you stand up while they’re asking all those stupid questions and proclaim loudly in the direction of the lawyers, “Hey, (insert lawyers name here) you left your damned filthy cigarettes and shoes at my house again last night” That’ll get you a boot out the door.
ALL ABOARD!!!!! Train leaving on track 9………..

Don’t think that counts.
I was called to sit in on a trial of a religious man. Asked what I thought of the religion I replied “I think they’re Satan Worshipers, just less honest about it.” They asked me to expound and I did and then got “Oh so Ms. Q, I take it you don’t like the religion and have formed a preconceived notion of the defendant and his religion.” I replied yes and was supposed to serve on the actual trial (which lasted like 7 months).
Get pregnant, it’s how I got out of that one.

You have to understand that the others called for jury duty have probably done one or more of the following:
1) Ate Beggin Strips because, well, they always eat Beggin Strips.
2) Took a picture of a plastic bag, not for a funny blog, but because they think the bag is sexy — and the bag now has a restraining order against them.
3) Just woke up in a dumpster — .2 miles away from a house they don’t live in.
So, you see, you’re practically guaranteed to be selected.

I suppose if you wanted to get off, get a hold of the cases coming up over the next few days (if that’s available on line) and post your thoughts here on each and every one of them. A published opinion of the case would probably keep you out.
Though if I was on trial for something, and I was innocent, I would want smart people like you, who think for themselves, on the jury. If I was guilty, well, not so much. Then I just want a great lawyer and some sheep.

Don’t tell them all of those things. It is more likely to get you chosen (outside interests and all). Just imply that you have preconceived notions about any case they mention. If you appear to have strong feelings for or against the defendant or prosecutor, they will not want you (they really don’t care if you are crazy, unless you are preconceived crazy).

Babs Beetle — Yeah, but don’t yours wear those crazy wigs?
rattln’ along — I’m taking two magazines and a book about salt. Yes, salt. And my smart phone, which has Bejeweled on it. Oh, yeah, I plan to people-watch. And take notes!
JD at I Do Things — Oh, you’re so creative! That’s exactly the case I want. They may ask me to the stand as an expert instead!
ann of the junkdrawerblogfamily — Our reality show audition made us awesome, not insane.
The Mother — Perfect! Everybody hates a cougher!
HumorSmith — Does that mean you concur that I am insane?
fidget — It is not weird. It is cautious and awesome.
Lola — See, but I’m such a bad liar. I do intend to watch people, though. I’ve never been called before, so the novelty hasn’t worn off. It’ll be an interesting study, I’m sure.
Chris Casey — And now you put that song in my head. Bad Chris. Bad.
grannyann — The food is usually compliant. Except for that one time the bag ‘o donuts screamed a little because I pulled the belt too tight.
Jen — Oh, no. Don’t say this is semi-normal! I’m going for nuts here! If I could bottle Shadow’s farts, no one would sit next to me for a square mile. They’re kind of deadly.
Maureen — I wish I knew ahead of time what they were looking for so I could do the exact opposite. I’m getting a little scared right now. I’m such a baby. Does being scared get you out of it?
John J Savo — Oh, wait. Does the defendant get to sit there and listen to you get questioned? I’m sweating now!
Ozzie-fan Trade Show Guru Steve — It occurred to me when I created the list that I might indeed be a little “off.” I had another half dozen things to add, but it would have made the list too long. It was eye-opening to see how much weird stuff I’ve done since I started the blog. Frightening, actually.
Stephanie Barr — Someone told me the same thing yesterday. They don’t actually want analytical, right-brained people. They want those who can be swayed by emotional pleas. If I memorize pi to the hundredth digit, will that help? I can’t find my periodic table.
Carla — Oh, yes. I had a phone conversation like that in the office last week. A gentleman on the other end was very hard of hearing. I think my office mates wanted to kill me.
David — I know you are right. I think I’m nervous about how well I’d do and whether I can remember everything that happened so I can make a good judgment. Cross your fingers for me.
Donna — Oh, poor Donna. Nine times?!?! You’re a professional! I would love to yell something inappropriate to get me out of it, but I’m such a quiet person in a room full of strangers. I won’t have the guts.
Mama O — Stop saying that! You’re gonna make me get picked!
SewDucky — Oh, man. I’m seven months too late to make that work for me. So you’re saying I’m screwed no matter what I do, right?
Angry Max — Funny! But you’re not helping my case! The thing is that if I do get picked, I want a weird case to make things interesting. If I’m going to invest the time, I don’t want something boring like tax evasion. Of course, I’d rather not get chosen at all! Break out your rosary beads.
Kevin — Now you’re freaking me out. I don’t want that power, even for an orange!
Richard Catto — Everyone keeps telling me to say things like that, but really, does it work?
Steve — Tell me about it. I guess I’d rather have our court system than many other places. I know a lot is riding on a jury’s decision. I joke about getting picked, but I really do understand he gravity of it.
Cromely — Yeah, thought of that. Too late now! I’ve been thinking lately about how someone’s future is so dependent on the jury. I really do hope they know how to pick the perfect one. You’ll find out later if I was one of them.
Shinade — I’m getting such great advice from you guys. How much you wanna bet I forget everything and wind up getting picked? And no worries. I know you’re just teasing. But really, that’d work!
Anne — Well, I intend to be honest through and through, and if that gets me stricken from the list, then so be it.
Karen — Funny you should mention that. If I was to report yesterday, I might have had trouble. The daylight saving time change really messed me up. First time I can recall I had so much trouble. I swear, I didn’t feel human until Noon. I want my hour back!
March 10th, 2009 at 7:08 am
I’ll bet if you smile real big and wink at the defendant you will not get chosen to be on the jury. Or, if he looks guilty, just frown and shake your head “no” and go “tsk, tsk, tsk” and that might work, too.

March 10th, 2009 at 7:47 am
I would say those are more quirks than evidence of craziness. Besides, the people who you could be deciding the fate of have likely done much worse. I used to work for the City Prosecutor, and the people who requested jury trials were crackheads who swallowed a crack rock while running from the police and then attempted to shoplift packs of sliced cheese by stuffing them in their pants. So at worst you are a moderate on the crazy spectrum.
March 10th, 2009 at 7:55 am
I am in awe at the sneaky way in which you have just recycled old material AND directed people back into your catalog so that their visit is sticky.
As for Jury duty, its a small town and I do get around so I usually know the Judge, the Prosecution, the Defense, and maybe even the Defendant. They always send me home as both Lawyers will suspect that I like the other one better.
March 10th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Not to mention things that I, myself, marvel at daily. Like we have regular, seemingly-sensible conversations with bloggers who are cats and traveling bras…

I was in a jury pool once and really wanted to serve but I was rejected. I think I was too enthusiastic. So, just act like you really WANT to do it. Also, if they ask about what magazines you subscribe too, give them a LONG list–the longer the better. That seemed to alienate them to me when they asked me.
March 10th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
They ALL wear those crazy wigs and black gowns! The pomp and ceremony is enough to give you the collywobbles, before they even start the case!
I didn’t have to answer any questions other than if I knew the defendant! It was quite automatic. They may have had a few extra to allow for any problems, but the letter says you have been summoned for jury duty. No selection process. We could have a jury full of weirdos! That’s British justice for you!

Jury Duty is a great way to wile away the time, unless you get picked, then it’s sorta like school, only not really cause they want you to pay attention and stuff for some crazy reason.
Look, just wear appropriate shorts with different colored knee high socks and different colored shoes and one sleeve of your blouse rolled up to the elbow and the other buttoned smartly around your wrist. Just comb half your hair. See, you want to appear whacky with out offending the judges dress code. Here, if you offended the dress code, they make you go home, get dressed right, and you best show back up, or ….
Either that or proclaim repeatedly that no matter what your going to find the defendant Guilty. After 4 days of that, One juror got off, but he almost got thrown into jail as well. He also got a 1/2 hour talk down from the judge. It was truly bizzare. Welcome to Jury Duty.
