Reply to Does a 12 week old baby qualify as an excuse from jury duty? by CactusCandles

It's been forty years roughly, but apparently my mom dragged two or three of us down to jury duty with one being a baby(either me or my little brother depending on the year) and the judge immediately excused her.

Or just tell them you're a proud gun owner, believe in the old testament, and support the death penalty. Defense lawyers will want to get rid of you at that point.

No. But: Write to them and tell them you have no family to watch the child. Keep a copy.. Send it certified, signature requested, return receipt, NOT DIGITAL, A PAPER RECEIPT. If they call you in, anyway, take the child with you. When they ask who will watch the child if you get selected, tell them that you had informed them of your situation, then show them the copy and the receipt. My parents were both deceased. I really had nobody to watch my children. I took all those steps. They sent me home.

Reply to comment by my404 in PA Representative Burns gloats as 220 residents lose their homes by my404

Yea, something definitely is going on.

The local media stated that JHA would not even explain to residents what the issue was during their individual meetings. Originally they refused to even tell the newspaper.

I do find it odd that various Facebook & Review Sites comments keep saying about mold and leaking pipes.

It just seems odd to me that if it was entirely just old age, why wouldn’t they go “These apartments are very old and need major repairs”.

Call them if you can, the more you talk to them about this they’ll likely give in. Unfortunately state court would let you go in a second but federal court seems to be hard to get out of. Quote exactly the rule you found and where and ask to speak to a manager (not kidding, it sounds like you may have spoken to someone new and they didn’t want to let someone out of jury duty).

Reply to Guns, Pot, and Mushrooms Discovered During Hunt for Suspect in West Deer PA by Important_Bad_9697

I’m down for legalizing the good stuff but this comment section is wild. He had CRAZY amounts of weed/shrooms that in no way could be consumed by one person. He admitted to selling it! And the police had a gd warrant, but there’s a bunch of lawyers in the comments section saying “dOnT LeT TheM iN”…. Read the article.
