Jury duty shouldn’t even be a thing. Look around why should the average person be responsible for the fate of someone else.

I’ll never do it either, I didn’t go to law school and don’t need that responsibility. FOH

 

[RustyShackleford]

Jury duty should definitely be a thing, and more people should be willing to do it

Juries need to be more representative. In every way.

If black people are gonna face trial it would be better if they face a diverse jury than have a white judge decide their fate

What DeSantis is doing immoral and unconstitutional, but the solution is not abolishing juries

 

[mplsdunk]

I get that but agree to disagree.

I want no parts of making a decision what happens to a persons life that I don’t even know.

It’s not about knowing them. It’s about proper interpretation of the law without bias which unfortunately can often be racial bias. And yes, I can see how it goes both ways (sending an innocent person son to jail or letting a guilty person walk)

Then that's your personal choice to not like it

But you suggested a pillar of constitutional rights be done away with, and there will be bad consequences for it happening

I am just pointing that out.

We will know in 30 days whether Joe Manchin's political career is probably over, or most definitely over.

Prayers up for osh kosh bosh

Well yeah, most the country is racist. Ron desantis is just gonna call up the average Floridian for his death panel if he has it his way.

I get what you’re saying but they’ll find a way to rig the jury too.

 

[dragicon]

If he wants the death penalty for men who rape children, he’s going to be killing off a lot of his fellow GOP members in the house.

In a statement to Politico, a DeSantis spokesperson defended the governor and praised Ward, stating: “We thank Dr. Ward for lending his time and expertise to our press conference to ensure medical freedom is preserved in Florida.”

Ward is a Florida dermatologist

Yeah, the fact they won't up the pay for anything even resembling today's wages is why so many people try their hardest to get out of jury duty. You look at someone who is in a sales job (whatever type) and is full commission. Try and tell them they have to do jury duty for $12 a day or whatever joke rate it is and give up making $hundreds or even thousands of dollars that day (or longer if the trial lasts a while). Trust me it wont go over well.

Thankfully, I'll never have to serve on one and deal with it. With my medical issues (severe Crohn's) my GI doctor has written me out of federal jury duty many years ago, because I couldn't go hours between courtroom breaks for restroom (can't just get up and go when I need to during a trial, which with Crohn's, restroom trips are in the 20+ a day, if not more).

Think they going start with the PPP loans?

And the College Board said it will strip out all the stuff DeSantis complained about, claiming they are taking out the politics. However, add an optional project on black conservativism will be added.
