I just had Federal jury duty last year. On the bright side, you get $50/day and they reimburse your parking too, so save your receipt.

Next time you get another selection for jury duty in the mail, just toss it out and act you never received anything. Stuff gets lost in the mail all the time.

Shit, I just told them I was out of vacation days at work and was excused.

Pittsburgh federal court was pretty lenient. I had to show up, but was just like 'hey I need to travel for work' and was excused.

Glenside Coffee House - say hi to Pam

None of that shit should be illegal.

This story should be about how cops searched a dudes house and found a bunch of legal shit and then they left and caught a rapist or drunk driver...or hey, how about cops spend their time solving the 50% of the murders they never solve?

I completely agree!! I’ve always wanted to do it! I would have been pumped before having this baby!

Moron alert!

“Richard Andrew “Trey” Darrah, 20, of Plant Street, agreed to allow the deputies to search his home.”

Lol.

Just go in and talk about jury nullification

I mean, that sounds about right.

I think if you go in day one, the judge or whoever asks those who feel they are unable to attend to come forward and state why. I had a family member who did this and was excused no questions asked because they stated that they were caring for a dying relative (which was the truth!).

Keep pushing and don’t give in, IMO you should absolutely be excused. What can they expect, that you bring a baby every day?

Tell them you have a true crime podcast and they’ll throw you out immediately

Idk if there is a difference due to it being federal jury duty, but PA title 42, chapter 45, section 4503, a.8 lists "breastfeeding women who request to be excused" as exempt from jury duty. You may have to make the request in writing.

I am not a lawyer.

I mean, my suggestion was a joke, I'm sorry if that was hard to deduce between the radio teeth and the mole people...

I've been excused from local and federal jury duty for nursing.

Came here for this, was not disappointed. She was a piece of work.

Thank you, this will be my course of action

They need to allow an “offer as tribute” option for people that would have difficulty serving. Me? I hope to get selected whenever I’m called and I’m like 0-8 so far.

"Police were shocked to find rifles in the home." Was it their first day on the job?

Thanks for that

1500 works for us. I did look up row homes, the ones I found are cheap. I was shocked I saw most are old homes which is fine.

I saw places in Pittsburgh and Philly that were over 2k like geez almost like here.

People have asked this on the parenting subs. General consensus is to bring the baby with you for your summons. Breastfeed right there in the courtroom. Do whatever you need to do to take care of your baby.

Also, answer some of the questions "wrong" in a believable way. Enough wrong to be thrown out as biased, but not enough that it looks like you're trying to be thrown out. Try either being a racist or being very anti-cop/government.

Take that cutie patootie with you. Whip out a boob in the middle of any pertinent conversations, bonus points if you ask for bathroom breaks every 10 minutes for bleeding.

How high was this guy when cops knocked on his door? Why the fuck did he let them in??
