Yeah, that’s the problem though. It’s not a corporation it’s a not for profit charitable teaching health system.

Sit in the court and be their own star witness.

Do you seen the perpetrator?

Yeah I’m right here!

>After Darrah refused the West Deer police permission to search his house, officers then obtained a warrant.

This story is written by a fool.

I went to a concert in the Peterson Event Center and a person ate way too many mushrooms and jumped through a window and killed themself. It was like 12 years ago and still stuck with me (probably because I also had some shrooms at the same concert).

Ugh not to mention federal, if you get picked, which I guarantee you will, you could be in court for weeks. My brother was on a case for 3-4 months and they were secluded from everyone that entire time. You know how they send the little card around asking if you will discriminate based on race or make judgments based on gender? Just say yes (even though it’s not true) and you will never be called again. I have also used the vacation excuse. I haven’t been called since 2006.

I’ve always been dropped before I even had to show up anywhere (dad worked for the county, knew too many judges), but I would try going to your OB & see if they’ll write a note for you saying you can’t go (or even your kid’s pediatrician). I work in healthcare & my OB was more than happy to write a note that I couldn’t work overnight shifts & I couldn’t work more than 8 hour shifts when I was pregnant. Pretty sure she would’ve done the same for me post-partum.

I keep getting called but they were always settled before I even got into the courtroom. I'm a paralegal, they need to stop asking me.

Just dont go.

Pennsylvania's archaic drug laws ruining another life.

FWIW, until just a couple of years ago federal employees got no maternity leave (only whatever sick time you managed to save up), so many of those court employees were back at work at 10-12 weeks and pumping. While it's super hard, it's not impossible, but I truly sympathize with the OP on the childcare front.

12 weeks ..wow. ..dont think I would even acknowledge the jury order

bingo. a warrant for a person is totally different from a warrant to search for drugs.

In 2019 when I was on maternity leave and exclusively breastfeeding I was summoned and told the Pittsburgh county jury that I cannot serve for this reason. I remember the scheduler being really snappy with me about it (pumping wasn’t discussed-also not everyone can just pump as a sub for breastfeeding 🙃).

I kinda left it like well I’m not able to serve right now and they said they can postpone it-2023 and haven’t heard from them.

he denied it AFTER they searched his house for the person. they can't just search your shit when looking for someone. the whole "we knocked and a door to your secret cache flew open" is the reason they used for the warrant (since technically they arent allowed to).

He probably realized this after giving them permission to search for the person, but at the point it's too late.

edit: the initial search and warrant was for a person. warrants are very specific about what you can and cannot search.hence why they needed ANOTHER one

> Deputies state in the complaint that they knocked on the door they found in the basement and the door came open revealing the cache of drugs.

Dude. IANAL, but I'm almost positive since they were there for a person they aren't allowed to "search" through your shit. This is how they get around actually searching. By making up a story about "knocking on the door...and the door came open revealing all the secret stuff". This is pretty ridiculous.

Maybe try a deferral instead of a straight exemption? If you say “I’d like to do this but can I wait 9 months?” they may be more understanding.

Empty bags of pot…lol

No doubt, and I’m all for legalization. But idk I feel that this kind of stuff shouldn’t be in the hands of a 20 year old, especially a paranoid 20yo who owns all of those guns. If you want to buy some stuff to sell to close friends that’s one thing, but sounds like he was trying to supply half of west deer lol

I am in luzerne county and was summoned for jury duty when my baby was around that age and I responded that I am the primary caretaker of an infant and they excused me.

I would bring the baby with you. It is unreasonable for them to tell you to find childcare. It is expensive and most daycares have long waitlists.

He even admitted as much. But who cares? It’s pot and mushrooms. It’s almost unheard of for anyone to have an overdose from either, and even rarer for anyone to die. The local pharmacy likely has a much bigger problem with the fentanyl and oxys diverted or “lost” along the way to them.
