Title: Jury Duty
Post by: BaldBen on November 30, 2007, 07:21:03 AM
I was talking with a attorney about my experience being selected to go on jury duty but then not getting on a jury (for me, a good thing). He said I didn't get selected beacause I'm a Headshaver. He said that it's very evident from my shadow that I'm a Headshaver and that attorneys don't select Headshavers because they tend to be free and independent thinkers and cannot be easily led around by an attorney's argument.  5t*mp

Has anyone experienced this? Judging by the banter on this site we are a more independent thinking group. The moral of this story is: Don't like jury duty? HeadBlade! O0

Dude, that's awesome!  I know we have a few attorneys here.  Any of you concur with Ben's attorney?

Now I REALLY want to get called up for jury duty ...

A clergy collar is supposed to be a quick way to get booted, but add to that a bald head ...

I've never been called up, but I'd sure like to see how long I last!

Thats funy.  A little over a month ago i was selected to go to jury duty, So i thought if i had a freshly shaven head i would'nt be selected for a case.  Man, was i wrong! I was selected for a 3 day case. But to be honest with everyone it was interesting.

I totally missed this thread!!!!
That happened to me.  :Xo! The pool of potential jurors was about 50, and there were only 10 left when I was called. The case was relatively simple and wasn't going to last more than a couple of days. After I told them who I was and what I did for a living, the prosecutor immediately dismissed me. I was very surprised by this and was bummed given that I truly wanted to serve.

Maybe there is some serious credence to this shaved head/free thinker thing.

I've always found that acting like I have turrets syndrome and yelling
out "DOUCHE BAG" and other offensive words gets me off every time!   O0




P.S.  I'm just kidding!

OR ya could be on the OTHER side of the coin from FIREMAN and the others ( :popo) , like myself !  be sitting there clean shaven, tattoo'd arms multi ear rings , THEN the prosecution doesnt want you but the defense DOES !"oh he'll fight the establishment, and aquit !"  so being sly CAN be a 2 headed coin !

I think  being a big old, knuckle dragging shaved, skinhead patrol cop in my uniform has helped me on the stand.  I go to court somewhat regularly to testify and usually wear my uniform(unless its federal court then its civilian coat and tie)  here in TX most juries respect a clean slick head since the perception is that its military(or law enforcement)
