Some might say I'm lucky, but I've never been called for jury duty,
although many of my friends have! I have a state ID card, I'm a
registered voter, and I'm in college. Yet I've never been selected. Is
this abnormal? I think jury duty would be an interesting experience.

You are fortunate, unless you don't mind being talked down to by a
bunch of pompous frauds. Also, if you accept authority as to what
you are supposed to know in order to decide things and have little
intellectual curiosity, you also might enjoy the experience.

I've never been called for jury duty any where.
Maybe that's because I'm just an average working stiff white guy?
I've always laughed at this idea of a "jury trial by your peers" thing.
yeah right. A $150,000 per client attorney is on trial for murder and the
jury is made up of people on minimum wage and on welfare.
You would expect the jury members to be of equal salary and intelligence and
all dressed in $1,000 suits and ties.

Bullis, unemployed morons are not considered average.

And yet you claim you were never called.

I would expect your understanding to be this, dolt.

I've been a registered voter in the same town for nearly twenty years and
have never been called. I suppose it is because the county has a large
population and my particular (small) 'burb has few jury trials, so my name
has never come up for either the town or the county. On the other hand, my
father, one county over, has been called to jury duty several times during
the same time period.

You're right, it would be an interesting experience. But once you
get on the roster you don't get off. You could be called every
year for the rest of your life. I get to spend a few days every
year sitting in the jury pool assembly room reading a novel, then
I get sent with 20 others to a courtoom for all-day interviews to
establish our ability to be fair, then I gets politely sent home
because neither side wants an attorney on the jury. Ah, well.

"Jury of peers" means that under the English law that we copied:
a member of the nobility got a jury from that group,
a member of the clergy got a jury from that group,
a member of the commoner class got a jury from that group.
The terms means nothing here and now. It never meant the economic
criteria that you are laughing at.

I take Your Meaning here as that you've made it to The Jury Pool, maybe
even Seated as a Juror, *but* in Voire Dire [Questioning by Court/Counsel]
you were Excused? Most Likely, in light of your College Student Status,
dismissed by The Prosecutor who spoke words like "The People would to thank
Ms Blackstone for Appearing Here today, and ask that she Be Excused..."?
That's becuz Smart People, who are Prone to Critical Thinking & Analysis
are ABSOLUTE TOXIC KRYPTONITE to Prosecutors...
Prosecutors can Be Counted On to Queer The Jury with Docile, Compliant,
National Enquirer *Subscriber* Mediocrities who can be Swayed by Dog & Pony
Shows of Complete Irrelevance and who have Never Heard of "Reasonable
Doubt", let alone could be Spot Schooled on its Meaning...
I think jury duty would be an interesting experience.
Yeahhh... it is, but I think your chances of Participating are Better,
Seated in the Gallery, than on The Jury...

that I knew the prosecuting attorneys brother, as a friend of mine in high
school..... LOL

Actually when I was a prosecutor I preferred more intelligent people
on my juries, because they would be less likely to be confused by a
smart defense attorney trying to muddy the waters.
