Nope! But, you can defer. I had to bc of infants...it was fucking ridiculous. They told me I could put them in their daycare while I served...yea, I trust that.

I believe you can only defer once, but maybe that has changed.

Yeah, sounds like they are missing the whole point. You’re not looking for childcare. You’re breastfeeding your baby, not pumping. End discussion. I really hope you hear back some good news. You don’t need added stress right now. Honestly, breastfeeding is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I’d rather have labor 10 times again in place of the stresses of breastfeeding. (And my labor was 21hrs long)

I forgot about about Anderson. All of their offerings are chambered in 5.56 (or other calibers), though, so I'm going to go with it being a typo.

Here’s a synopsis: Me: hey I have a newborn that I’m nursing and no childcare.
Ejuror: you can pump here. M: is there childcare? Ej: no, find your own. M: here’s what it says on the court’s website about not having childcare. Ej: that doesn’t apply to you. Being single and unemployed does not count for exemption. M: what? I’m asking to be excused because I’m breastfeeding a baby?

And that’s where I’m at so far

My kids were toddlers when I was called for jury duty. When they asked if there was any reason I wouldnt be able to give my full attention to the case I said yes I have to worry about my kids and who is with them etc. i wasnt chosen but not sure if that’s why or not

I just said I would never believe anything a police officer said or submitted to evidence because all police lie and I’ve conveniently never been asked to participate again. I don’t think I could bring myself to pretend to be racist tho, if much rather shit on police than do that.

I got selected for jury duty in PA right after I had my son (October 2022). You go on the website and choose either “undue hardship” or other, and it asks for a reason. I wrote, “currently on maternity leave with my newborn. I am exclusively breastfeeding and would not be able to be apart for an extended period.” I received an email like 2 days later that I was excused.

The problem with that is the expense exceeds payment . Ask for them to pay for a sitter.

I kind of agree. The real story should be this guy being arrested for tax evasion. Dude was making 6 figures and not paying a dime in taxes. CRIMINAL!!!!!

Assuming it wasn't a typo, they were probably just AR-15 style rifles that were made by Anderson Manufacturing. They name their models "AM-15". Not especially rare, but more on the budget side.

Yeah i mean this is like the average 20 something in rural areas. Basically busting your average american youth.

50%? Someone's being optimistic. :(

They promised him that’d it be better to comply and let them search

Call and ask.

Cops have such a hard on for a collar that they can’t see a forest from the trees. This could have been a “thanks for cooperating, don’t worry about the pot but please don’t sell it.” Moment. Instead, just another example of why we should stonewall cops in every way we legally can.

Same. I have jury duty in April and I’m also traveling for work. I used the ejuror portal to submit my exemption. It was approved. Easy peasy.

That may get you a contempt charge

you should call the court jury coordinator

I agree with this

Agreed. This guy is a victim of bad laws.

Pretending to be racist worked for me when I was summoned for Pittsburgh federal court.

If not, bring the baby to jury selection and see how long before they decide it’s better for you to not stay.

What bench warrant…I know a guy who has done this for twenty years. People don’t have time for bullshit jury duty these days.

I would call them instead of emailing. When I had an issue, the county Court was very understanding; all I had to do was submit the rationale and they took care of the exemption.

Congratulations on the baby, and best of luck!

Can you give more details about the conversation? I don’t understand how they expect you to do this. I was 9months pregnant and got a summons. I was planning on mailing back my excuse with the box checked for breastfeeding mother, but went into labor before mailing it back so I missed the window to mail it. When I went home, I mailed it and was excused. I honestly wanted to be a juror but not with a baby! It’s not for lack of place to pump either. It’s the trying to breastfeed on baby’s schedule, not the court’s. Clearly this person you had to interact with is not a parent.
