Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Should I Be Normal™ in the chance it would let me nullify an unjust conviction, or simply deliver a communist diatribe during the selection process

Can they actually prove you got a summons in the mail? After they wasted a day of my time sitting at a court house I juat ignored any other jury summons I got and nothing ever came of it.

It's usually sent certified mail or some similar thing. If you don't respond they will resend and eventually 'hand deliver'. OP probably won't be picked for some kinda arbitrary unstated reason. Or maybe it will be like:

Q:"Would you trust a cop's testimony more or less than an ordinary citizen's?"

A: "Uhhhh..."

Q: "Dismissed."

They dont dismiss you right away they wait until you've sat around for 6 more hours.

Why just skip it when I could either help someone or do a diatribe

I wouldn't risk the warrant tbh. Depending on how busy the district is, there might not even be a trial scheduled during the term. I've been summoned a lot for some reason, and most of the time haven't had to do anything other than acknowledge the initial summons.
