I got called for Jury Duty before I was a citizen lol

 

my sister is a paralegal and she got called and was on a case. i got called to jury duty once. i got dismissed cause of finals. i delayed it cause of mid terms....

 

wait, i don't get paid for jury duty, and i didn't get a check when i went. what the crap.

 

Just stand up the first day and say "I know he's guilty, i can tell by the color of his skin!"

And that should take care of it.

 

I was under the impression that they can only call people for jury duty that are registered to vote. How were you registered to vote when you aren't a citizen? Or is it that non-citizens only don't get to vote for president? I'm confused about that.

 

I don't know how it works in other states but in CA they just use DMV records. Thus anyone with a drivers license and of age can be called. I was called for jury duty at least 4 times in the 10 years or so I was of age and not a citizen.

as for voting, if you aren't a citizen you can't vote period.

 

hmm, interesting. I guess Oregon is different. I know that here, you are only eligible for jury duty if you've registered to vote.

 

I think it is the same down here RB. Hence, I have never registered to vote

 

When people say stuff like that, they screw with you and make you go through to the end of the process and then dismiss you...instead of dismissing you immediately.
