Walk in and say loudly, "He/she looks guilty/innocent!". Either the prossocution or defense will object to you and you're off the hook.

I have a funny feeling I will know the person being prosecuted anyway , someone I know is up for threatening to murder , and the case starts that same week .

time will tell.

Hmmm.... wouldn't that disqualify you if you knew them?

Yes , but I am only assuming its that persons trial , it could be another so wont know till the day.

Its interesting dealing with the sheriffs department , feel like I should be wearing chaps and a 6 shooter.

Summons said 08.30 in the forenoon , who speaks like that these days.

I got the summons years ago for jury duty but as I was a witness in the same case, I got excused. Never happened since which is lucky for many accused as I'm definitely on the hang 'em high side.

I was on the 'hang em high' side too, until I started reading up on the epidemic of false rape allegations in the USA and Canada, especially on university campuses, and it seems coming soon to a western democracy near you. I'm a bit more circumspect now.
