I have a question for you all.....

[BlondeOnaBusa]

So.... I get a federal jury summons a month or so ago. I had to fill out a questionnaire and one of the questions was what kind of hobbies I have. I put down the usual, gardening, target shooting and knife throwing....yes you read that right. I was suppose to call tomorrow and enter a number and it would let me know if I should show up on Monday for jury selection.
Heck I didn't even get to do that. I got a call a few minutes ago telling me not to bother to show up, my request had been canceled.

So my question is do you think I was turned down because I'm a gardener?



This is the 3rd request I've gotten and I really thought I was gonna be one of the chosen ones. I even bought a book to read.

Crafty little devil. I'll remember that one.

Target shooting and knife throwing. Maybe you scared them and they thought you would go postal

I only speak the truth. I have knives for throwing and sometimes we have competitions at the house. I've gotten pretty good at it if I do say so myself.

I'm sure it's the gardening that is getting you booted out!

Interesting. Seems that the questionnaire determines whether or not someone is qualified to serve on a jury. I never knew that; I assumed the decision was made at the case level. Here's something from the courts that explains the basic process: http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/JuryService.aspx

Gardners are known to be a little deranged at times. I have to remember this if I am ever called upon for jury duty

No way do the courts want someone like you on a jury.
Your reckless because of motorcycles
Violent because of the knives and firearms.
How else can the be sure they'd convict someone with a violent criminal like you on the jury? It's not about justice,,its about winning and losing for the prosecuter. Sorry lady,,you're out!

A woman that goes by BoB, totes guns and knives, probably is cultivating illegal herbs and rides one of them crotch rockets

Dayum your hubby is a lucky man and federal court is no fun. Glad you got out of it.

Non-judgemental my ass.
You were expected to answer I am a soccer mom, bake cookies, clean the house, watch CNN and I love Barry.

I guess I'm not the norm. I'm a band mom, I buy cookies, kinda clean house.....hate CNN and I have no idea who the heck Berry is. LOL.
I told no lies on my questionnaire. I half expect a fed agent to knock on my door and want proof of my abilities and ill be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt I can do all I said.
