Just got a summons for grand jury duty
I was wondering how long these things usually last. Also, should I list my occupation as poker player.
I know the grand jury hears evidence from the prosecutor and generally indicts whomever the prosecutor wants them to. |

Re: Just got a summons for grand jury duty
My dad is on some grand jury and goes 1 week a month, every month.
He loves it because he hates his job working on the railroad. He calls it vacation. |

Re: Just got a summons for grand jury duty
If you want to be dismissed, I'd put down occupation as poker player. Most judges/prosecutors are conservative & won't like your occupation much.

Re: Just got a summons for grand jury duty
I served on a grand jury a few years ago. We met every Wednesday AM for three months.
It's a very eye opening experience. I had no idea the crime we had in our county until I served. The prosecutor presents his case, sometimes there are witnesses that you can question, heresay is permissable. It's very very cool and I highly recommend doing it. Most people got indicted, and they were mainly no-brainers. We did fail to indict a guy on a double homicide though...He probably did it, but the evidence just wasn't there to build a case. |

a famous federal judge (who ironically was later convicted of something) once said that a grand jury would indict a ham sandwhich.
