After 2 days of jury selection I have been impaneled as juror #6 in a civil case for Los Angeles Superior Court. Trial is expected to last 10 days (starting 4/1), the 2 weeks off work will be nice. 
Obviously I can’t discuss the case until it’s over, but when it’s over I could start an ‘ask the juror’ thread if anyone would be interested.
Can you tell us what the action is? Negligence? Defamation? Trespass?
I’d rather not. The subject matter tends to bring strong reactions and I don’t want to be prejudiced in any way. Just through I’d mention it in case there was interest in an ‘ask the’ thread in a few weeks.
Tease
At least you’re not Client #9.
Huh, when I saw the thread title, I figured you had gotten cast in Twelve Angry Men.
Does this look like Cafe Society? 
Besides, I’m just too sweet to be an angry man. 
Ah, but you haven’t been holed up in deliberations for days on end with no air conditioning and one hold-out. Give it time, my dear.
Ooh…he’s definitely guilty, then.
For the record, yes, Antinor01, I am interested in a “Ask the Controversial Los Angeles Juror Anything” thread.
“It’s going… to rain.”
I hope you’ll get on okay with juror #5.
You forgot the smoke artfully wafting about the room. I don’t care about your feelings about smoking or the seemingly endless capability of CGI, cigarette smoke is beautiful

You don’t have to go any further. I’m on your side. puff
You lucky duck! I’ve been VOLUNTEERING for jury duty for 20 years, can’t get picked. They always boot me off when they find out I’ve spent most of my adult life as a newspaper reporter and editor. I always say, “But I’m *specially trained * to be objective!” And they always reply, “Yuuhhh!”
My advice: Nullify, if you get a chance. There’s nothing more fun than legislating from the jury box. “We find for the plaintiff because the defendant is an asshole! A completely innocent asshole, but an asshole nonetheless, and for that he must pay!”
Try not to get picked as jury foreman. On the ladder of unpaid jobs that really suck, that’s right up there at the top.
Now get in there and have fun!
Who is number 1?
And who does #2 work for?
I’m not sure, but I did notice a charm bracelet.
I got my jury notice a week ago - then two days ago I got the letter saying I don’t have to go - something about being on support for the troops in Afghanistan makes them itchy about me sitting on a jury.
Dammit - I was going to wear my “Hang 'Em High” shirt.
