Starwood Lurker is Out of Office
I am leaving tonight in just a few minutes and will be gone until next Tuesday around Noon Central time.
Have a nice weekend, pray that I do not get selected for jury duty on Monday, and Hook'em Horns!

William,
Re: Jury duty:
You need to go ALWAYS on the Friday before a Monday holiday (or a Thursday before a Monday holiday if they don't empanel juries on a Friday, like in DC). Think Fridays before Presidents' Days, Columbus Days, Memorial Days, etc. I went today in DC and was dismissed in 2 hours. Don't tell anyone else.
Will

Or say that in your spare time you're a Jury Nullification activist.

don't they know who you are? (and how many people you can't help when you aren't around.) that should count for something.

I think this trick works every time. Report to courthouse wearing a nice business suit. Carry a briefcase and start reading the Wall Street Journal. Very few defense lawyers would want you in the jury box.</font>

Defense attorneys wanted the whole pool thrown out after that was said.

I know I'll be in the minority here, but I do believe that you haven't really completed your civic duty until you've actually served on a jury.
Don't make up excuses for getting out of serving on a jury. It is important that smart and capable people serve on juries rather than just the people who don't believe that they are too important to waste their time on it.
On topic: We look forward to your return, William.

Having served on four juries in the past 30 years, I agree with Lensman.
I hope the proponents of jury avoidance strategies never have to sit in the defendants' chair being judged by their peers... peers whose idea of reading is the "Weekly World News."
