He wasn’t even in the same room at the time.
I was called to jury duty today and of course I went bc civic duty. Usually they don’t use me but today I got to the juror interview part. They swear us all in. Everyone is in the same room and you state your occupation and spouses occupation children, grandchildren, and hobbies and juror experience. After that the prosecutor asks questions. If you have an answer you raise your hand and speak. You must answer any question asked truthfully cause your under oath.
I had an acquaintance who worked at the DA when they said her name I admitting knowing her.
Then they asked about auto theft had anyone in my life had their car stolen. I spoke on that and was told that case is similar to this one can I be impartial I said yes.
Then they asked if anyone had followed closely any cases in our county of national significance! I was THE ONLY one who said, Yes, I closely followed a national local case. He asked was it Kyle Rittenhouse case. I said YES. He asked if I formed any opinions about the DA or others involved in the case. I replied Yes the DA. He returned DA Binger? I said yes, DA Binger. He asked what was my opinion?
I said clearly and loudly that he was a liar and a master manipulator!
He asked if I could judge this case with him prosecuting I said yes but I’d know DA Binger if entered the room. He thanked me for my honesty and when all was said and done Chosen jurors stood up. I was not asked to stand up. I am sure I will never serve on a jury in Kenosha County ever for the rest of my life bc Binger is a piece of shit and I will always tell the truth!
So yes, Kyle saved me from jury duty.
It seems like you are the kind of person we need on juries. I dont know how anyone here can complain about the government and then brag about "getting out of" jury duty like that's something you get a gold star for
I was ready and willing to serve but I had to tell the truth and that disqualified me. What really surprised me was that not one of the other 40 people watched and paid attention to that very local national trial.
If telling the truth gets you out of jury duty, then our jury system is fucked.
Well done Patriot! It must have felt amazing and powerful to be able to speak the Truth before the County DA & Defense Attorney during the Voir Dire, which literally translates from Old French to "Speak Truth"
I’m not sure why some are thinking I ditched my responsibility I was there and willing to do my duty I was not selected. I felt that keeping quiet instead would have been a real deceit.
Absolutely...you took the path of Truth & Honor.
Could've been more diplomatic -> juror.
Unfortunately most selected jurors are uneducated and uninformed.
By design
IMO it is a form of civil disobedience.
Fuck the system.
Yep, that's exactly what I thought as soon as I realized what this thread was about.
Come on, OP..... you should know better. We can't complain about our "fucked up legal system" and then dodge / cheer getting out of Jury Duty.
I mean; I guess you didn't really dodge, but you get the point.....
Who actually "wants" to mow the lawn? But we still do it when the time comes
