I hope he plays the potential killer. He can play psycho well.

Some good actors in this. Might see it.

My jury duty story...

The court was right next to a theme park (like, RIGHT next to it) and there was a long window above the judge's head. Every now and then you'd see legs flying in the air as the rollercoaster went past.

In the same case, the juror next to me kept falling asleep cos he'd come off shift work for the trial. I had to keep nudging him to wake him up.

Share your jury duty stories?

Generally, I have just had to call in and then they said they didn't need me. Only had to go in twice. First time, they filled out the juries for the day and dismissed us by noon. I read a book to kill time. Second time I sat in the jury waiting room until lunch, filling out bridal shower invitations for a friend's bridal shower that I was throwing. They had us go to lunch and come back and when we came back, they said they had filled out all the juries for the trials on the docket for the day and I got to go home.

I haven't received a jury summons since. So maybe they lost my address. I hope I didn't jinx myself by saying that.

Not a fan of Clint for obvious reasons, but I am happy to see Nicholas Hoult in a dramatic lead role, and will watch for him! Pretty good supporting cast, too.

As for jury duty... I've been called a couple times, and only got a trial once. It was a gang murder trial, it lasted for weeks, and we ended as a hung jury. It was a good learning experience, but I found it extremely stressful and upsetting to have to make that kind of call when he definitely seemed guilty as fuck, but they just didn't have enough good evidence. I've always considered myself a pretty rational person, but there is a looooooot of gray area in criminal trials.

I assume that if I get pulled again, they'll probably get rid of me in voir dire for being on a hung jury.

i swear it feels like i get a jury summons every year while my family and friends never get summons!! i have jury duty next week, lets see how it goes. glad i didnt get chosen last time for grand jury cuz i think it said it includes writing a report at the end? and then a couple years ago i was close to being selected as a juror, 3 days of jury selection and i was like 1 of 5 ppl left at the end.

A report?? wtf, they barely “pay” people for jury duty and sometimes they expect you to actually work??

[kamikashi]

yup some sort of final report. and its a year long commitment for grand jury. i think payment was like $15-20 per day. i know its not like you gotta come in everyday for a year but man i wonder how they select jurors for it? like only people with flexible enough jobs?
