SURE you would, Donny Boy, BUT even ex-(fake)president criminals don't get to tell the judge when they go to prison. This is the world YOU CONNED ! !
Live with IT ! !

Neurodivergence and Jury Duty
This week's blog is about how jury duty selection really doesn't jive with autism.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget I’m autistic. I have sort of built a life for myself where my weaknesses are minimized and my strengths are (mostly) highlighted. My job allows me plenty of decompression time, I can sort of pick my time slot, and my schedule is very predictable 90% of the time. The problem comes when I’m thrown a curve ball, and I’m repeatedly reminded that the world isn’t built for…

 Our justice system is FUCKED. First time I had to go in for jury duty in....15 years?
First time I had to go in for jury duty in....15 years? They asked WAY WAY more questions of the jury (one of the NEWEST ones: do you watch justice/cop dramas/shows/movies, and believe them to be accurate? I KNOW that was not asked of us 15 years ago). To the point I heard about a murdering child, sexual abuse on KIDS, and that was just the JURY. They asked very detailed private questions and potential jurors had to answer in front of a room full of strangers. And the topic at hand was not a criminal case, but a FUCKED up topic regardless TWO YEARS after the accused thing happened. It took THAT fucking long to hear something involving kids?
Not to mention, it disgusted me how 'buddy buddy' the judge, the typer person, the prosecutor, and the 3rd party unbiased guy who decided the outcome to a degree all were. Add in the cops as witnesses later on, and this is already a stacked case. There were multiple laughs over these serious questions. Like, if I did not KNOW they all were working together, I could fucking see it plain as day. It also threw me off how everyone was...charismatic. Even talking about shitty things, having a few laughs, they still charmed the jurors. Most there liked both the prosecutor AND defense attorneys. It's an aspect I kinda ignored: CHARMING the jurors. Not winning thru truth, but making them feel...validated. And EVERYONE shared some mundane unimportant side story of how they knew someone, directly or indirectly.
And they can cut out jurors on a WHIM? How is that a 'jury of your peers' if it is highly fucking filtered from both sides? The thing that drove me the most insane besides the word 'honorable' actually being next to the judge's name (seriously, you EARN that title by doing your job right, not by fucking default. Let's see your track record, and see how honorable it is)?
They SPECIFICALLY ALL said many many times 'Do you agree to follow the law as the JUDGE defines it to be?'
I DO NOT KNOW HER DEFINITION. Let's hear it....
Ugh.
I got out of it, at least for the day. How? I rambled my fucking truth. I was kinda everywhere, but I said:
'Largest prison population in the world. We are not the good guys.'
'With epstein's island, I believe anybody can get away with anything if it wasn't recorded.'
'I have friends lose kids to our system. And it broke my friend. He didn't deserve that.'
I actually said, and it was the god's honest truth: I am biased both ways. I have seen the system do bad, but, I, by default, would trust a kid's allegations over an adult's denial on average (I didn't sound THIS smart when I said it so paraphrasing).
Pay is shit, treat you like you owe them, it's hardly justice when 2/3 are plea deals. I learned a lot, but none of it good.
<worst part is everyone working SEEMS like good people, but they're endorsing a known corrupt flawed system, so even tho they were civil, they're destroying society, just politely.>
Fav part? The 2 times I was called, I said outloud 'god damn it', made people laugh both times, and when I was excused, I said 'thank god' and made even more laugh. NO ONE WANTED TO BE THERE.
ps-EVERYONE in that room has a DECENT chair, EXCEPT for the vast majority of jurors who were being waited on in the back. It was like an old hard church pew. TERRIBLE. Judge: you're semi rich. I'm being paid $15. Give me your chair. Fairly, she did say sorry for them. But...not like she's gonna petition to change it. It's to say something to look good, not actually do something about it. Politics: words, not actions.

I did my civic duty today and served as a juror. It was actually very interesting and I enjoyed it. Probably helps that it wasn’t a murder case or anything but, I think even then I would still have found it interesting.

I forgot how hilarious The Juror #6 job is. The episode opens with Nate trying to socialize his crime daughter by having her do civil service. "There is not some evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity." *four minutes later* "Uh, apparently there is an evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity." Brent Spiner plays a hippie spiritualist pharmacist. We have to get Parker from thinking hiding knives in food is a good prank to having her charm an entire room of people. The kids leave for the day and Nate and Sophie line up at the door; they hand Hardison his briefcase, Parker her sacked lunch, and they present Eliot with the exciting news that today is the day he is going to be hit with a car.

The jury duty molasses
The jury duty molasses
Before I dive into today’s experience, I must make a disclaimer. First off, I am not writing any specifics of the jury I am being questioned for. I won’t even say what type of jury (grand jury or trial) nor court level. Nothing. So, nothing to see here in regards to the specific case. I’m just here to vent, after just eating a bag of cheetos, while two lawyers acted like brats. We got called…

What I Was Supposed to Get Out of Jury Service and What I Got Instead
I got called in for jury duty and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Just kidding. I didn't actually get a t-shirt. #JuryDuty #trial
People like to tell you that being a part of a jury for a trial gave them a new sense of appreciation for the court system. The videos preparing you for jury service like to report that people say this as well. I might have thought this would happen to me, too, but in fact, it was something like the opposite. The whole experience made me incredibly sad. Now that it’s over, I can tell you why.…
