  I was talking with a attorney about my experience being selected for 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.

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!

Seriously...do u think someone is a free and independent thinker just because they shave their head?

Same thing happened to me earlier this year...
Apparently a lot of circumstantial evidence was to be presented in the case (DUI). Don't know what that could be.
They dismissed me....talked to a friend of mine (local attorney) who said the same thing Ben did.

I actually would love to serve on a jury someday. However, not enough to stop shaving my dome.  8)

Never been called.  And I have been a registered voter in four different counties and two different states.

I've been called for jury duty 2 times in the last 7 years but got out of it both times.  I've moved 3 times, during that time, and always to a different county.  So, every time I've been called it's been from my former county, and upon calling with that info ... I've gotten out of it.

I read everything you wrote but I didnt respond to it, sorry.  I have to disagree with you.  One of our customers here at the flooring store was( is) an attorney and he is a headshaver.  So I dont see where that would play a role in you getting picked for jury duty or not.  What if I was someone who wanted to be on a jury.  I could fight for my right and that would be discrimination.

Oh yeah!  Don't worry MB, there may be times where I'm quiet here but it doesn't mean I'm not watching everything!  Don't forget eh, I work for Big Brother...  and we're ALWAYS watching you!!!  :x!



But yeah, I have never been called and won't ever be cause of the job.  It's a conflict of interest really.

Last time for me was back in 2000. A patient was suing a dentist. In one week I learned more about teeth and gums than I cared to know. We found in favor of the dentist though as he was trying to deal with over 40 years of the guys negligence of his mouth. The look on the plantiffs attorneys face was priceless when the not guilty verdict was read. O0

I don't know for certain but I have been told that if one has ever been hypnotized they are less likely to call you up as they do consider people who have been to be more easily influenced.
