Technically, it’s not the judge’s fault. More the fault of luck and the American jury system.
GamerEdie just got back from her annual stint of jury duty — or as she likes to call it “detention for grown-ups” – and just as it seemed she’d skate out without being picked for the panel, her name was called as first alternate.
She tried to reason with them. You’d think that telling the court that Grand Theft Auto 4 was her favorite game and she loved capping her friends in the face and bludgeoning hookers would have made a difference.
Alas, no. For some absurd reason, the court, the district attorney and the defence counsel all thought she’d make a FINE juror.
So she’ll be sitting on a criminal case this week at the regular Humdate recording time.
Winner of last week’s “swag pack” will be announced on the next GameHounds regular episode, as well as the winner of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. You have entered both, haven’t you?

Should’ve said like: you mandate the death penalty to everything.. including spitting in public
“So do you obey spitting laws Mrs Sellers?”
“I BELIEVE THEY DESERVE THE DEATH PENALTY FOR THAT.. DAMN KIDS NOWADAYS”
yea.. that would be a guarantee to be out then.. and probably for now on. Try it next time!

Sorry, I’ve been there a few times myself. Personally, I’m a freak. I don’t mind serving jury duty.
In your case, however, perhaps the George Carlin route would have yielded better results:
“Yeah, put me on the jury, I’d be a great jurist. I can tell if someone’s guilty (clucking toungue) just like that.”

37 years old in a couple of weeks, I have never been summoned for Jury duty and I’ve been a registered voter since I turned 18.
They must just know I am an opinionated prick who has no sympathy.
