It’s weird how sometimes y’all will engage with an AI image like it’s real without further discussion
Looks pretty real to me. The text on the bag is readable and a real brand.
It’s because no one believes this is actually someones breakfast before jury duty. It’s a joke. It doesn’t matter if the image is real or not.
Ya’ll if you don’t want to serve just tell the court you know what jury nullification is and ask to be dismissed. No need for biological warfare.
In some places, telling potential jurors about jury nullification is considered juror tampering.
It’s better to phrase it differently without actually saying the words “jury nullification”. Something like, “I would vote not guilty if the law is unjust.”
I’ve only served on jury duty once, and it was kinda fucked up. Child abuse case, and we were all kinda on the fence leaning toward defendant was guilty, but the evidence presented was just absolute dogshit. Lots of reasonable doubts.
Found the dude not guilty on the premise that we’d rather let a guilty piece of shit off the hook than risk convicting someone who’s innocent, but it felt real fuckin icky to give that verdict over what was most likely just a lazy investigation by the cops.
Hope the kid turned out okay… must have absolutely zero faith in the legal system because of that.
You did the right thing. It’s also important that cops and prosecutors do their job and stop relying on horrible accusations to be enough to convict anyone they want.
We’re close enough to the French https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror as it is. I still think Al Franken really didn’t do anything seriously wrong.
I don’t remember the name, but some lawyer on YouTube explained that exactly the problem you all had, is why he doesn’t struggle defending someone who is “obviously” guilty.
You can’t really know that right of the bat. You need at least some good evidence. Basically he is making sure that all the other people do their job correctly.
As one of those kids, he’ll probably turn out okay. As a juror, it’s better to let a piece of shit go free than make an innocent person rot in jail.
When the kid grows up I would almost guarantee that he would make the same decision.
it’s better to let a piece of shit go free than make an innocent person rot in jail.
In both cases the piece of shit goes free. Which is somehow really hard for people to understand.
You wouldn’t believe the amount of cases we shelve because cops are incompetent. Or maybe you will if you know anything about cops.
Though it’s important to remember that modern juries expect CSI-level investigations from the cops, where you can simply “enhance” a photo until the suspect is easily identifiable and all criminals coat the crime scene in semen prior to fleeing, so if there’s no clear footage or DNA evidence, a lot of people think that must mean the cops are incompetent.
CSI show exaggerates those things dont really happen in real life at all, they dont have fancy way of detecting blood, footprints, fingerprints, or some microscopic evidence. also fingerprints have been shown to be extremely unreliable as of the latest research.
A lot of true crime stories start with “the cops did nothing for the first 2 weeks” or “a lot of evidence went missing and the lead detective got busy” or "they said it was just a runaway case until a body showed up. Cops are dumb as dog shit and care only about protecting and serving themselves. Sure there are some good cops but not enough.
i remember seeing one youtube, where a cousin/friend was suspected of murder, but the cops dint question him or did anything. many people in the comments said the cop was likely related so they ended the INVESTIGATIon of the killing.
and LAZY, they wont bother with small petty crimes.
Sorry you had to deal with that. It sounds like you did the job properly, as shitty as that is.
Needs some raw broccoli too
A beer and some peanut butter cookies.
Why peanut butter cookies???
Because they’re my favorite.
Bruh I’m no food chemist or gastro-entamologist, but if you give me 2 peanut butter cookies and some beer, I can clear a room.
“OMG DELICIOUSSSSSS!!!”
Your fellow jurors are suffering enough, why do you have to make it worse?
I don’t understand you humans.
Why does “everyone else has to suffer” if you are stuck with jury duty?
What are you?
No idea, but pretty certain that i’m not the same species that i read about every day in the news.
A meat Popsicle?

I really enjoyed my stint as a juror. Never tried to weasel out of it either.
if you have alot of time on your hands. but in most cases people cant afford to take work off just do it, they lose out on alot of money. and most states pay very little, like a few bucks to 15/day if you are selected. federal might pay more. difference between 5$ and few hundred or more is quite significant.
It’s an important civic duty. For every opportunity to find Luigi did nothing wrong, there is a terrible case.
I had a friend who had a 8 month jury stint over a infamous and grusome child murder. They had to review detailed forensic evidence. He had to go to therapy for panic attacks for years.
This is genius, though personally I’d the eggs into egg salad and add plentiful fried onions.
here we didn’t get to bring our own meals. We weren’t even allowed to go home or keep our phones at all, nor get visitors
thats only if you get selected to be one of the 12 jurors, or alternates. we just sat in the seats waiting to be potentially called in the room.
My relative said he would never get culled as a juror, because he was an activist lawyer. Actually he was a lawyer for a local city government and he helped shape all the changes for a region and after he retired from the city, he represented local cops who had fucked up real bad
So get a law degree if you want to get out if jury duty
Fartmaxxing.
I thought being on a jury might be quite interesting, until I found out you don’t get paid for it. Fuck that, I’m not working for free.
You get paid where I live, but it’s some useless amount like $12/day.
that is effectively not getting paid imo
I got bills to pay. I’m not living a lavish life. either it matches my income, or I find a way out of it
Last time I went they paid like $25 for the entire day.
That would barely cover your costs to be there.
the first day spend around 7+hrs sitting on hard wooden benches. yea it wont cover the hours lost if you were working.
Especially if the trial is 20, 30, 40 weeks long
That’s why they call it a civic duty, not a job.
I got summoned recently and was excited. Ever8I worked with seemed odd that I was excited. The guy took a deal so they dismissed us around 11-12.
The court wrote a small check but I got a full pay day from my job. Union benefits for the win.
Employers should have to give you paid time off for it
Some do
Where are you not being paid? It’s always paid here. It’s just a lot less than minimum wage (like $75 for the whole shebang no matter how long it lasts).
I mean…think about that for a minute. If you’re being paid less than minimum wage then how are you supposed to afford to live? Some people live paycheck to paycheck.
Depending on how long the trial lasts, that wouldn’t even cover travel expenses.
That’s effectively working for free.
I knew someone who got picked for jury duty on a trial that lasted over a month in federal court over 2 hours from where he lived.
He ended up having to take out loans to cover his travel expenses on top of his normal living expenses. He got paid something like $7/day for the entire trial and his job only gave 5 days of PTO for the whole year and didn’t pay for jury duty like a lot of businesses do, so after the first week he had no income.
I’d just stop showing up at that point, that’s ridiculous. Financial hardship is a legitimate reason to get out of jury duty where I live.
I forget the minimum length, but my state also gives a per diem if the trial is longer than a certain number of days. But like some one else said, it’s only like $12/day. Like barely enough to cover a lunch. IDK if they feed you tho. I have never actually had to go; I’m always cut during the “call in and check your group number” phase. The paperwork details payment; doesn’t say much about food, travel, or any of that.
The rate was so low in Harris County, TX several years ago that the day rate wouldn’t even pay for parking and the cheapest lunch at the courthouse cafeteria.
But the hours are good.
This not universally true. Can vary by country, province, and court system level.
What, no black coffee?
That’s after the olive oil and sugar free gummies.
I’m pretty sure you can just open one can of surstromming and save yourself all the effort of the eggs.
What does that mean in American?
basically swedish rotten fish
It’s like putting a lit m-80 in a durian and taking it into the jury room.
What the other guy said. Just search up some videos of people opening it. If I remember correctly, the ‘appropriate’ way to open the can is in a tub of water, because the smell is so horrible.
