Called for a Jury? What Happens When you Get a Jury Summons (whatever)

submitted 4 hours ago by wahala to whatever (+26|-0)

  • 18 comments

Have you ever been summonsed to be on a jury?

This topic comes up from time to time here at Voat, so I’m guessing it is something that interests us. If not, piss off and stop reading this. Since I work in the legal field, I occasionally get to deal with juries and jury trials. I thought Voaters might like to know what is happening on the flip side. Not sure if I need to qualify this, but my experiences are all in the US legal system and with American juries.

Obviously, the jury systems vary from state to state, but the basics involve a County Court Clerk assembling a list of potential jurors for the trial term. How this list is prepared is based on the laws of the particular state and county, but most pull names from voter and driver license rolls, which they are required to keep updated. There is a prescribed random selection process and usually a limit on how many times you can get selected per term/session/year. Most Clerks will run software that does all of this for them, and will return a list of potential jurors for that term.

The Clerk then sends out a summons to each potential juror by mail. This is where it gets a little creepy. The parties on a case that is set to go to jury trial are allowed access to this potential juror list. Both Plaintiff/Prosecutors and the Defense get to see every single person that was called and may serve on their case’s jury.

Some Clerks only provide a list of names to the attorneys. Others, however, will provide names, addresses, and ages. If the case is worth it, and the Plaintiff/Prosecutors/Defense is savvy enough, they will task their trial team to begin investigating the background of every single person on that list. They will want to know all about you and whether you will be a useful juror to them or not. Say the case is about a wrongful foreclosure. You better believe they are going to investigate if you own a home or have ever filed for bankruptcy. Say the case is about a DUI-caused death. You better believe they are going to check to see if you have ever been charged or convicted of a DUI. I think you get the idea. Any information that is about you that is posted online anywhere can, and most likely will, be found. The trial teams are building a profile of you. They will know all about you even before you step foot in the Courthouse.

When it is finally your day to appear for your jury summons, you will likely be herded into a room with all of the other potential jurors. In small counties, this can be end up like a high school reunion or church luncheon – you’ll know most people there. Once settled in, you will fill out a little questionnaire about yourself, if you weren’t asked to do it before you came in. Then, in all likelihood, you will sit around and wait and wait and wait while the trial teams get ready to begin voir dire.

Eventually voir dire begins and this is about the most fun you are going to have during the jury selection process. Voir dire is the legal term for questioning a potential jury to assist in the selection process. This is where the Plaintiff/Prosecutors/Defense will ask you things they likely already know the answer to – such as, do you own a home or have you ever been convicted of a DUI? They are assessing your ability to be honest with them, so don’t bother lying. Yes, lying will get you booted from the jury but it may also prompt a surly judge to charge you with contempt. Don’t risk that.

They will also ask you about your ability to serve on a jury and remain impartial despite any life experiences that may sway you. This is where honesty counts. Think that guns don’t need to be registered? Tell them that. Don’t think white cops can fairly deal with black youth? Tell them that. Think big banks are evil and foreclosure should be illegal? Tell them that. Think DUI is as bad as murder? Tell them that. This is one of the few arenas left in America where you can frankly share your biases and the only consequence will be whether or not you are selected for a jury.

After this is all done, you may be allowed to ask them questions, but it really depends on the judge. Next comes more waiting and eventually you will be culled from the group and chosen as a juror or dismissed. All that is left after that is actual jury service, which is s topic for another day.

I hope this was helpful and/or informative, or at the very least, I hope I helped you kill some time this afternoon while you read this.

Why do ANTIFA wear masks if they believe they are "fighting Nazis and defeating fascism?" Is exposure our greatest weapon against them? (whatever)

submitted 3 hours ago by Liberty_NYC to whatever (+15|-0)

  • 9 comments

Why would you not want to be associated with bringing down a fascist regime? Is this just another part of their oxymoronic nature or could we really defeat Antifa as it is now with exposure?

Just thinking out loud here but in addition to a ground response to antifa, shouldn't there be an online one? How hard would it be to create a central and searchable source where these idiots can be unmasked? It appears many are college kids who could easily be outed if their classmates had an incentive and anonymous means to expose them.

It just seems like such an easy point of attack, at least to me, if their anonymity is such an important factor. I bet half of these bored college idiots would bail if they knew their identity could be forever damaged by association with those battery throwing morons. Just look at how much the worms are squirming after the crazy professor and probation violator was revealed. Start picking away and I predict eventually a big chunk of antifa will fall off.

Dear Russia (whatever)

submitted 2 hours ago by IlIlIlIl1Il to whatever (+12|-2)

  • 2 comments

Dear Russia,

I keep reading "news" articles claiming that your countrymen or its leaders are responsible for a variety of hacking, espionage and other nefarious activities aimed at harming America.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the same ideology that begat the bolsheviks and the troubles leading up to WWII are still at play. I suspect that if these forces are supported by enough Americans, our next election will be won by a person who promises to "fix" this and other problems. Our military will again be called to service to face our great enemy, Mother Russia. Ironically it is the very same people who are most pro-Communism that will be at the root of this - which are the same people who were against nationalism in Germany, against democracy in Sweden, and against the power structure in Russia prior to the revolution.

Please remember that most Americans are ignorant of history. They read limited sets of historical accounts with a very narrow set of lenses. They read what feeds their biases and perspectives. They feed their own ignorance - and it is getting worse.

So to the extent that you can prevent this from happening, please do. Please know that globalists and other forces outside of the American population wield tremendous power here. In fact, they own almost everything. They are going after the last bastions of resistance - social media platforms and conservative news organizations for example - and our women are aiding and abetting them. We do not know how it got this far, but here we are.

I suspect that Russians in positions of power know this already. But I also know that it has its own population and they too are vulnerable. Ignorance is extremely powerful. Even smart people can fall prey to ideologies.

I have not taken a poll, but just in case things go badly between our countries, please know that the best Americans intend you no harm. We do not call other people fascists and racists, we do not hate people based on their gender, race, ethnicity, or culture - yet if we find a cultural norm troublesome, we will call it out.

Right now we are calling out our very own culture for the sickness that has invaded us. Reasonable voices are more dangerous than anything else today in America, and hence they are the voices most often attacked.

We hope the same is not true in Russia.

Good luck.

An American

The Closest Thing to True Anarchy is Negros Living in the Jungle (whatever)

submitted 6 hours ago by Whitemail to whatever (+30|-3)

  • 35 comments

Each negro goes about his merry way, doing what he feels like doing.

As soon as someone in his own mind begins to make plans and establish order, anarchy is being worn away at. When this extends to groups where someone says something like, "Let's build a bridge over the water," the anarchy is further destroyed by order and organization. One person begins to attempt imposing his will and his plan on others who were not thinking or desiring the same thing, thus, destroying the anarchy that once existed. As a result of this tyrannical imposition, the community has a bridge over water that proves to be very useful to them. Sometime after this a man with leadership potential and deserving of the status and respect of a leader realizes that the whole tribe can be organized into performing different tasks to maximize success and efficiency. The people adept at making sandals make sandals for anyone who needs them. The best hunters and trappers hunt and trap to provide food for the tribe. The women are left to taking care of children, cooking, and crafting as needed.

Meanwhile the neighboring tribe is crossing the sacred boundaries that were agreed upon ages ago. They're testing and disrespecting the evermore efficient and productive tribe. It's time to organize an army and assign men to making weapons and armor. Instead of being allowed to lie lackadaisically in the shade, they are pushed by the leader into tiresome levels of production. It proves to be no mistake, for the neighboring tribe has launched a full invasion to take their land, their resources, their women, and to enslave the men. They thought it would be easy, because the last tribe they conquered was disorganized and indolent. Not so with this tribe. They saw the signs of war and prepared accordingly. Now the invaders were turned away, but that wasn't all. The newly organized tribe sought revenge by invading the tribe that sought to invade them. With their superior organization, they conquered their strongest and most threatening neighbor.

Those who dream of anarchy have no appreciation for the fact that way they have comes from order and organization. Yes, order and organization impose some unwanted things on people, but it also brings about great benefits that don't come out of chaos.

Bit of a PSA.

We're a site against mainstream media. Yet it seems, 90% of voaters subscribe to v/news and v/politics, exclusively getting their news from these subs (on voat).

I'm not saying unsubscribe. I'm saying wade the waters a little bit, check out other subs that don't have such a hivemind going on. It'd be good for voat.

I get that there is some bonuses to be had from consolidation. But you also see so much reddit repost, bad news sites. I enjoy the niche news subs but hate how they seem to die off.

Edit: I put this in the commons, but I guess it would be wise to put it here as well. Suggestions welcome

Why do people believe that jobs and employment have intentions beyond exchanging money for services? (whatever)

submitted 4 hours ago by jaceame to whatever (+10|-0)

  • 14 comments

I keep reading things along the line of "minimum wage jobs are intended to be a stepping stone for yada yada yada" "for this high value you are intended to expand your blah and increase your blaw" which isn't true. Employment is exchanging labour for money, there is no greater intention. The value paid is what the employer believes to be the minimum they can give to receive labour. Everything is in the attempt to make as much money as possible.

Don't believe that a job is designed with an intention. Not all jobs are the classic Ford model.
