If you're interested in how my jury duty experience was or if you are wondering what to expect, watch this video! lol at 2:04 I meant to say "eligible"
Yeah, if we literally are just staying home and didn't have to work(for some people, go to school), I can see it being ok to help out in Jury Duty. Problem is, most adults all have responsibilities and Jury Duty is a net loss towards it with nothing in return.
I have pretty bad social anxiety so jury duty sounds like my personal purgatory! I'm always so afraid I'll get asked questions I don't understand or that perhaps be seen as too dumb and get really embarrassed, or make the wrong choice. Sometimes my anxiety becomes so severe I have bowel problems and heart palpitations. I can't fricken help it!! I do not want to do it but I'll have to call next weekend and hope to God that my group isn't called in. Also it seems so strange to have complete strangers pulled off the side of the road to determine a person's fate. I have a hard time thinking I'm the perfect candidate for something like this but I guess we'll see. 😭
@@allisongay2751 No! They canceled the entire trial because of the holidays, specifically Thanksgiving, which I honestly forgot was that week as well lol...life creeps up on us man. Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to go to another again or if I'm off the hook for now.
I have jury duty on the 19th I hope it gets cancelled because of Christmas, im also a very socially anxious person my stomach is turning just thinking about showing up 😭
@@psychohpompos i also have it the 19th, i dont mind going im okay with talking with strangers but like i wouldn't mind if it got canceled lmao, i live in California
I just got my jury duty summons letter this past Monday. And just like you were I'm 19 and none of my family members who are older than me has ever been chosen.
It's my first time.. I'm already having a lot of anxiety and it's tomorrow lol btw thank you for making this video. I do feel more calm about it now :) Edit: didn't get picked, thank gahd lol
Same introverted AF don't even want to go. UPDATE: so, I actually decided not to go the day of & nothing happened. I have family that did the same but they said if they keep sending the jury duty you have to have an good excuse not to go.
Thank you so much for making this! I have jury duty tomorrow and I’m excited because like you, I think it’s kind of cool, but I’m also stressed out, especially because I’m only 20 and like you I don’t know anyone older who has been on a jury. This helped me a lot!
I had JD yesterday, I was dismissed because I argued with the defense for 10 minutes about 'Reasonable Doubt' and I wore sunglasses during the whole process. It lasted 4 hours but I enjoyed it =)
It should be a choice thing I've just been excused because I'm my mum's main career and I wouldn't have £7:00 per day for bus fare at anytime and can't wait for them to reimburse I don't gain any thing from it any way and I'd need a toilet and coffee break without fail every two hours or I get aggressive towards people my friend wants to do it another friend discussed the case daily with me and others and had to ask to go to the toilet I didn't ask at school I'll be dammed if I'd ask to go in my sixty first year of life and don't sit near fat or smelly people and would tell them so and I'd take the Mick out of someone with a speech impediment
Been through, basically, the same type of experience you did. For me, there were 3 trials that needed jurors and I got selected for the 3rd juror panel. They interviewed about 35 of us for 12 positions. Brutal questioning by both sides. Ultimately, I did not get picked, but it was a fascinating experience.
Beware the civil trial! Tomorrow is my second day as a juror in a case where someone is suing their insurance agent! Eight hours of listening to insurance procedures, etc. Can't keep my eyes open. HELP!
There was a time jury duty was fun... the first 4 times going in for selections. Never got selected usually the far from the first 12, so even as they dwindle the numbers of selected jurors I'm usually in the pews at 60th or 100th. Closest I got to being selected was about 2005 or 2006. Single file, I was among the 12 on the jury seats entering the courtroom, and the 50 to 100 plus in the pews. And they gave us a ringer on the questioning both from the judge and both lawyers. Our questioning went on so long, he gave the us all a break, and I noticed a former high school friend, he was in law school sitting in on trials for his degree. I talked with him for a while, someone else asked him, are you supposed to be talking to the jury pool? We just ignored him. And then a guy next sitting with me as jury selection in the juror pew was a sailor in the Navy about my age, probably just a bit younger, exchanged cards as I was interested in becoming an officer for aviation at some point of my life. Many times the judge spoke quietly with the attorneys and told us to "talk about the topics of the day". So we chit chatted a lot... I now wonder if it was to allow the attorneys to see which of us jurors were chatty or not. I'm normally not... but in this case there were interesting people on the panel next to me, and didn't help a fellow high school alumni was in the pews watching for law school. Our state, we get to know quite a bit about the case during selections. And the lawyers grilled us all... from the beginning the judge said this would be only 6 juror panel, not sure what that means always thought it was 12. I was number 9 I think. The defending lawyer looked like my older brother, and he kept looking at me during questioning by the plaintiff lawyer, and even as I was dismissed... I kind of felt bad, was thinking he knew based on my questioning maybe that I would be a "good" juror for his case or maybe he could decide? Anyway that one for me was pretty easy from the outset: the guy was completely innocent... at least far as what I heard, more than just presumed innocent, I couldn't even figure out how they had probable cause to prosecute him. The most recent 5th time in 2017 one that I didn't even want to be there... was domestic abuse where the girlfriend/wife had gashes and a black eye... the defendant had a record... he was as guilty as all get out. I didn't want to be asked, because I was going to explain I'm already biased based on what was disclosed and all people present... that guy is guilty! And I don't think I can presume him innocent going into this trial. Others had the same sentiment during their questioning... they pretty much just kept whatever was the first 12. And the defendant made me mad, he just looked like a wife beater, evil piece of junk.
Thank you for the video! You are one of the very few who have shared your experience. I've been summoned and was curious what it was like. Still a little nervous, but your video definitely helped. So thanks. (:
Thank you so much for making this video! i have jury duty tomorrow and i've been a nervous wreck. I'm really excited about it as a civic duty, but i have no idea if i'd be an effective juror. You helped me really simplify the whole ordeal and really control my nerves haha, great video! :D
@@mariac6280 what do you do and what is it exactly I got selected today and it came in the mail but mines is in November I’m nervous and thought it was for a ticket 😭
Then just vote not guilty then. if you don't want to be part of the process, cast your vote as if you weren't there. If you vote guilty you've made an impact but if you vote not guilty then technically it's the same as not being there because the person is innocent untill being proved guilty, so you've just kept the status quo and you've not took part in conviction someone where the police are probably lying in an unbalanced system etc. Just because you have to doesn't really mean you have to participate. Kick back, chill, do nothing say innocent go home, you've not done anything to convict a man or woman and the court system and the jury duty has proved their own flaws. That's what I've done twice. Also if you want out of it, I've found to say you abuse substances and you have a drug problem and you're out of there.
Yes and most have no idea about law and the system just go buy what there hearing and there opinion it doesn’t matter if you know then or not cops decide the fait of people they don’t know everyday
You folks are fools.this actually a huge part of what makes the justice system acceptable and better them just accused and cast to the noose or whatever.
Loved the video! Like you, I'm scouring TH-cam because I've been selected as a prospective juror this coming Monday. I'm nervous but the more videos I watch the more confident I am and know what it's going to be like.
You would care if your the one being prosecuted try to be in their shoes what they are going through being accused of a crime wouldnt you want a fair trial
I'd honestly just troll and say they should get the guilty criminal free. That's what the stupid jury gets for wasting my time, and not even paying me for it.
@@idk-uv7mt You might end up acquitting. The level of evidence isn't uniform. Sometimes the defense has evidence of their innocence, or of the accusation being fabricated. Sometimes the prosecution doesnt really have any evidence either.
I’m 18 and just got summoned for jury duty this month. ugh I really don’t want to do it I’m shy and honestly this just makes me anxious being with a bunch of random people and sitting in a court room for hours 😶
Thank you so much for sharing! yours is the only video that actually helped. i got something in the mail and got instant anxiety and have been watching TH-cam videos on what to expect but none of them were all that helpful. really wish it was a choice to be a juror or not as i know some people who would love to be chosen and than there's people like me.... who's a nervous wreak with social anxiety that dont want a thing to do with any of it LOL
@@blueblood.0257 they tried to get my sister for jury duty and she does not want too so they took her off and they system is broken trying to force people to do jury duty.they need a new system that includes a website with a link to sign up for jury duty on they own free will.
I know this is old but thank you so much for your amazing, positive, and detailed experience! I was so scared and stressed but now im actually excited!!💚💚💚
lmao I'm still scared from missing my first one and having read I can go to jail for I think six months... Either way I hope yours went well and let me know if you see this what your experience was like
Thank you I’ve been called to jury duty extremely nervous but at the same time I’m like if that’s God’s will it will happen. I appreciate your input ,you have made me feel better.
I just got summoned and I was looking for some advice and stumbled upon your video. As you would have it, I am from Oregon as well. Thanks for the video girl.
I've always wondered when I'll get a jury summons since I was 18. Now I'm 29 and I finally got one. I'm not excited for it, but I think the whole process sounds interesting.
Not gonna lie, i got jury duty for the first time 6hrs from now and i find this video very useful. Thank you 🙏 i feel less anxiety after watching this video
Yesterday, on January 20, 2023 I completed my jury service. This was my first jury trial I've been in. I got a summons in the mail back I believe on October 14, 2022 or somewhere around there and at the time I was 19. I remember filling out the 12 questions then signing up for registration. After, I went to my jury duty portal for orientation. Next, was calling or going on the portal to see when I had to go to the courthouse and I would have to go on October 27. On October 27, 2022 I went to my local courthouse to the Jury Assembly Room. I felt out of place since I knew I was the youngest one there. I was there for like about 1 hour. All that was just discussed was the 12 questions, roll call to check if everyone was present, and asking everyone yes or no if they can serve. If you said yes then you got a yellow paper on what date to return and which department. If you said no then you will still need to come back and have a good reason for the judge on why you can't serve. I returned back on November 14, two days after I just turned 20. We're at the assigned department and we were allowed to sit anywhere. What was discussed was the general subject about the case ( civil case if you were wondering) and we all got questionnaires about the idea of the case. The attorneys on both the plaintiffs and defense will look at them to select the 12 main jurors. Two days later on November 16, we went back to continue the selection process. Once the 12 jurors are selected and sworn in you're basically there until the end. The attorneys then move on to select 12 alternative jurors. Once the 12 main jurors and 12 alternative jurors have been selected everyone else is dismissed. Overall the experience was at times either boring, interesting, or okay. Originally the case was estimated to last 63 days or until February, but then got reduced.
I just attended my first jury duty summons today at the Multnomah courthouse. Hours of waiting. Then 60 people were called to be dismissed for the day and come in tomorrow. I wasn’t one of them. 20-30 minutes later we were all dismissed and told we weren’t needed tomorrow. I’m actually glad cause there’s some stuff I was not looking forward to missing at work! But at the same time, darn.
It’s strange how jury duty work in a lot of states and cities. My dad would always ignore jury duty summons and he never got in trouble or anything. I was suppose to go a few months ago but i ignored the summons. They just sent me another summons with a different date to go but luckily I called a day before and was excused.
I’ve been called three times. One time I sat in a room for half a day then they sent us all home as no juries were needed. The second was a DUI and I got kicked off during voir dire because (a) I’ve donated a few bucks to Mothers Against Drunk Driving and possibly (b) they asked if as an engineer I could ignore everything I know about how breathalyzers work and accept whatever bullshit I was fed (nope, sorry). The defense made a mistake by striking me as what I know about breathalyzers is that they are mostly designed by incompetent morons and are completely untrustworthy. The third trial I was empaneled and voted to be jury foreperson - a very serious case where a homeless man nearly beat a homeless woman to death. It was entirely a forensics case as the victim disappeared and there were no witnesses. The State did a piss-poor job of preserving and presenting the evidence and we jurors spent a day and a half deadlocked. Two jurors announced that they didn’t give a shit anymore and would vote with whichever majority so they could go home. When all seemed hopeless one of the jurors noticed something in the evidence photos that conclusively proved guilt, so we returned a guilty verdict including the GBH enhancements. After the trial I googled the defendant and it turned out he had been busted hundreds of times for all kinds of tweaker nonsense. I was an unpopular foreperson and barely survived a mutiny during deliberations - I made everybody verbalize their opinion on every major item of evidence, whereas a couple jurors wanted to monopolize the discussions which is what the shy people wanted. Overall it was a stressful pain in the ass but incredibly fascinating.
This came at the perfect time! I go to the UO too and I was one of the lucky ones who got chosen for jury duty... I hope my number isn't called because I don't want to miss school.
Weird timing!! I hope my video helped guide you through what your experience may be! If you're number does get chosen, just know that it's an interesting experience!
Yrs ago I received a jury duty packet in the mail, at that particular time I lived in Houston Texas, jury duty was in Colorado. I immediately called the number to tell them why I could not make jury duty, this women asked me all these questions, for example, do you work? I said yes, how do you get to work, I said, I either walk to work, or I ride my bicycle. She actually said, how long do you think it will take you to get here if you start now, I asked her if she heard what I said, I either walk or I ride my bicycle. To make this stupid story short, I was excused from jury duty. If they want people on jury duty, get people who are closer then 5million miles away.
@Phantasmed and more True but i shouldn't have to lose a $112 because some peace of shit decided to break the law . I always get excused during the interview process. As soon as i tell them im a Security Officer and i back the Police 100% in there decision. They arrested the person for a resson because there guilty of committing a crime . What was the person arrested for? The person is being accused of Grand Theft Auto well there's your answer there guilty how much prof do you need ? Well they could be wrongfully accused. Maybe but the odds of that are very slim that's what the Detective and the Judge are used for to come up with a solution to the problem right ? You could just show us the evidence instead of wasting our time talking about pointless subjects that don't matter . Like where the bathroom is located. I'm sure they will find it oventuly. Sence you don't want me to waste your time and yall are cleary wasting mine how about you get to the point .
@@prettyfancypants907 it's very easy to get out of Jury Duty. They can tell who dosent want to be there. I just roll my eyes like im irritated and answer there questions with a smart ass remark.They treat the Jury like there stupid so i treat them like there stupid it always gets me excused. I know how to do it so i don't get in trouble. The fact is they wasted 3 hours of my time . I just call my boss and ask to fill in if anyone called off and someone always dose .
Have fun on jury duty! I had jury duty yesterday and got picked and enjoyed the whole experience! The best thing to have is an open mind about jury duty.....it really helps as it improves the experience I feel as if you get picked you can enjoy the case more!
I first had jury service when I was 19 as well!!! I got drawn in to the jury box that time and I didn’t get struck so I was on jury duty for ten days. Great experience. Oddly enough this was in Seattle. Did jury duty ten years later (10 years ago) and got drawn out of the box but as others were struck I got placed in the box so once again on a jury. Last week I was on jury duty got drawn the highest number so I wasn’t needed (no offense to me). I wanted to serve but I was the only panelist to serve on two juries (not just jury selection but two actual juries). A lot of cases resolve the day of the trial. Which is why your count went from 4 to 1.
good for you. Its nice to see a young person that cares and did not mind being there. While no one really wants to be there, its an obligation to serve and not be a jerk about it.
YAY! I'm so glad this video helped! Definitely don't be nervous -- it's not as bad as you may think it'll be. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
bogdankisel1 I haven’t been in choir since I graduated, but I miss it so much! Are you still involved in a choir somehow? It’s such a small world that you stumbled across one of my videos!
Britnee Spelce-Will It is a small world after all so cool though. Don't they have a choir in your university? I've been doing church choirs after high school. In January might start choir with Concordia University, was accepted but will need to check with scedule for college. What are you majoring in?
UO does have choirs, but unfortunately I just haven't been able to dedicate the time necessary to be involved with choir. That's exciting! You'll have to let me know if you join Concordia's choir! I am double-majoring in Business & marketing, and advertising in the Journalism school!
I am excited about jury duty, getting to meet new people, etc. but I suffer from migraines and I'm anxious I'll have a bad one tomorrow since I've had mild ones past few days. Sometimes it's so bad, I get sick. I really don't want to serve on a jury because I won't be dependable and because it will impair my thinking. Makes me disappointed. It's the reason I don't have a full time career in my field.
I got summoned at 18 but got out of it cause I was going off to college. 12 years later I get summoned again and have no clue what to do. Thanks for the tip.
I just got home from my first day of jury duty , 1/2 day due to weather . Got as far as Judge 's initial selection questionnaire . If I responded to the intrusive questions honestly I would not only be dismissed but likely be railed by the Judge tomorrow , but be provoked into a contempt of court .
This was really helpful. I go next month. The letter I received said to bring a laptop, tablet or book to keep you entertained. How does that come into play since you're supposed to be listening to the case? Also, are you allowed to snack during the whole thing? It seems difficult to just sit there for 8 hours.
I was recently called in for Jury duty on a criminal case and was excused. They said to be honest in your response to the questions. I was totally honest and said that based on my 30 year experience as a correctional officer, that roughly 95% of those arrested ended up being guilty after going through the court process. So, based on my experience I wouldn't be a great member on the Jury as I had developed a bias that the majority of defendants are guilty. Many of those I supervised admitted to crimes to other inmates prior to going to court, but had yet pled not guilty. The Judge questioned me about my feelings and it made me feel like I was put on the spot in front of the other Jurors for feeling the way I did. They say to be honest and open, but when you are you shouldn't be put on the spot. The person deserved a fair trail, but based on my experience I felt they were most were likely guilty. Hopefully the accused got a jury that did not have the same influences as I had and they were honest when asked about their biases and past experiences. In order to have fair and unbiased trial jurors have to be introspective and not be afraid to admit to any biases they may have.
I will do it only if I get paid for the hours i should be working. because this to me is still work and i do not look forward to it. btw since u were let go did they still compensate u the 15$? i read through the summons it does not clairify the ammount u may recieve if u work.
Did they ask you if you know your constitutional rights? Or if you have read the Constitution? Did they ask you anything about the common law? Did they tell you that there has to be an injured party for it to be a crime
Wow they called you at 19?! I am almost 31 years old and they just called me for the first time. I'm due to report later this month lol. I'm not excited about it either, but I also try to look at the other side of things. I am a nosy individual and I love to know what's going on in court cases lol
For anyone who cares I learned something interesting. Technically jury duty mail can go straight to the garbage. The sender has the burden of proof that they sent it, so if you didn't sign for it or if it doesn't come certified, they can't prove that you ever received it. Next time I get one I'm throwing that shit in the garbage
I'm about to be 22 in a couple weeks and have yet to experience this (hopefully I don't lol), however I always said to myself that even if I do get selected for this I would NOT at all be a good candidate because I would be bias as hell. If someone did something wrong especially is sexual a- cases and such I'm damn well gonna vote to have them put behind bars and rot for all of eternity. Knowing myself I'd probably get too emotional as well lol.
I’ve been summoned for jury duty and I hope I don’t get chosen because I know the trial can take weeks or months. I remember my English teacher was gone for weeks for jury duty.
Thanks for the info. Was so nervous but you made it alittle easier on me. Btw did anyone ever tell you you look like the actor Anthony Ramos? You can pass for his sister lol
I got mail saying I might be summoned :( and I’m scared . Is it a right a wrong questionaire?. Should I be worried?. What if I answer question wrong ?.
I was called for jury duty 3 times in a row. First in 2020, cancelled in court because covid, early 2022 in la, and now here I go again this year. So, I am gonna get comfortable about this.
Um this doesn't help my anxiety skyrocketing. I got a thing in the mail today and my anxiety skyrocketed I really don't want to go. I'd rather be at work.
I got my jury summons a few weeks ago I have to check tomorrow to see if I have to go. It would be cool if I did go and was picked. But I have a disability that makes it really painful to sit for long periods of time so I don't want to go. But I don't want to use that as an excuse.
I'm 19 and I just got it, none in my family EVER had it. I actually wanna listen to the case and trial so I hope I get picked. I'm nosy, I wanna know who fucked up their lives, hope they allow food.
Last Thursday on 2/3/2022 I received a jury summons for 2/7/2022! The court only gave me four days notice. To be accurate, not even four whole days as the mail is delivered in the late morning and I need to be in court at 8:15am Monday. That's only about 93 hours notice. This is my fourth time for jury duty and I have never had such sort notice before. Usually it's weeks notice. I have a job I need to go to and other commitments. Four days just isn't reasonable.
@@Alex-zy6qu Sat around around for 3.5 hours then was told to go home. Called the number they gave us and the pre-recorded message told us jurists not actively sitting in a trial were no longer needed and that we had completed our jury duty. I don't have to go back for four years. I wasn't too surprised as this is my fourth time in about 28 or 29 years.
We have a thing called the Sixth Amendment, and it's always on my mind when the word "Jury" is present. I admire you because your attitude is great about why we should be obligated to serve on the jury, and about the process. Most people are glad to get out of serving, but not me. The Framers of our Constitution drafted and ratified the Sixth Amendment for the reasons you indicated, but to take that a step further, _Duncan v. Louisiana_ was a Supreme Court case, which ultimately led to a ruling by the Court that a criminal defendant's denial for a jury trial by a Judge was unconstitutional. The Court held that “trial by jury in criminal cases is fundamental to the American scheme of justice, [and] that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees a right of jury trial in all criminal cases which -- were they to be tried in a federal court -- would come within the Sixth Amendment's guarantee." This is a big reason why we get called to serve on the Jury in cases like the one you heard and considered.
Just got summoned for Jury Duty today. I have some health issues related to chronic pain so I’m just wondering how often I have to be there and if it’s like a full time job because if it is, I can’t physically handle it.
Jury is a waste of time, unless it is a high profile case. I then can make six figures in a matter of months. Then I can kick back and relax for the rest of my life.
Lucky you. I'm a felon. Didn't have a jury, took a plea. I'd love to get in one the process because we're empathetic. Having a clean record means you don't know the fate of the defendant.
A jury is supposed to be unbiased. You're definitely biased. You're exactly the type of person they don't want that's why felons don't get to serve on jury duty

It should be a choice thing I've just been excused because I'm my mum's main career and I wouldn't have £7:00 per day for bus fare at anytime and can't wait for them to reimburse I don't gain any thing from it any way and I'd need a toilet and coffee break without fail every two hours or I get aggressive towards people my friend wants to do it another friend discussed the case daily with me and others and had to ask to go to the toilet I didn't ask at school I'll be dammed if I'd ask to go in my sixty first year of life and don't sit near fat or smelly people and would tell them so and I'd take the Mick out of someone with a speech impediment

Been through, basically, the same type of experience you did. For me, there were 3 trials that needed jurors and I got selected for the 3rd juror panel. They interviewed about 35 of us for 12 positions. Brutal questioning by both sides. Ultimately, I did not get picked, but it was a fascinating experience.
Please, what do you mean by brutal questioning? Invasive, personal types of questions??

Beware the civil trial! Tomorrow is my second day as a juror in a case where someone is suing their insurance agent! Eight hours of listening to insurance procedures, etc. Can't keep my eyes open. HELP!

Eight hours??? That’s how long this jury shit is?
@@abovejc lmao it’s ridiculous and in my state they only give you $15 a day
@@abovejc lol
There was a time jury duty was fun... the first 4 times going in for selections.
Never got selected usually the far from the first 12, so even as they dwindle the numbers of selected jurors I'm usually in the pews at 60th or 100th.
Closest I got to being selected was about 2005 or 2006.
Single file, I was among the 12 on the jury seats entering the courtroom, and the 50 to 100 plus in the pews.
And they gave us a ringer on the questioning both from the judge and both lawyers. Our questioning went on so long, he gave the us all a break, and I noticed a former high school friend, he was in law school sitting in on trials for his degree. I talked with him for a while, someone else asked him, are you supposed to be talking to the jury pool? We just ignored him.
And then a guy next sitting with me as jury selection in the juror pew was a sailor in the Navy about my age, probably just a bit younger, exchanged cards as I was interested in becoming an officer for aviation at some point of my life. Many times the judge spoke quietly with the attorneys and told us to "talk about the topics of the day". So we chit chatted a lot... I now wonder if it was to allow the attorneys to see which of us jurors were chatty or not. I'm normally not... but in this case there were interesting people on the panel next to me, and didn't help a fellow high school alumni was in the pews watching for law school.
Our state, we get to know quite a bit about the case during selections. And the lawyers grilled us all... from the beginning the judge said this would be only 6 juror panel, not sure what that means always thought it was 12.
I was number 9 I think. The defending lawyer looked like my older brother, and he kept looking at me during questioning by the plaintiff lawyer, and even as I was dismissed... I kind of felt bad, was thinking he knew based on my questioning maybe that I would be a "good" juror for his case or maybe he could decide?
Anyway that one for me was pretty easy from the outset: the guy was completely innocent... at least far as what I heard, more than just presumed innocent, I couldn't even figure out how they had probable cause to prosecute him.
The most recent 5th time in 2017 one that I didn't even want to be there... was domestic abuse where the girlfriend/wife had gashes and a black eye... the defendant had a record... he was as guilty as all get out. I didn't want to be asked, because I was going to explain I'm already biased based on what was disclosed and all people present... that guy is guilty! And I don't think I can presume him innocent going into this trial. Others had the same sentiment during their questioning... they pretty much just kept whatever was the first 12. And the defendant made me mad, he just looked like a wife beater, evil piece of junk.
Thank you for the video! You are one of the very few who have shared your experience. I've been summoned and was curious what it was like. Still a little nervous, but your video definitely helped. So thanks. (:
Thank you so much for making this video! i have jury duty tomorrow and i've been a nervous wreck. I'm really excited about it as a civic duty, but i have no idea if i'd be an effective juror. You helped me really simplify the whole ordeal and really control my nerves haha, great video! :D

Thank you so much. I was really nervous about this, but you sharing your experience helps alot. 💛
Jury duty is so dumb, why are we forced to do this? And decide the fates of people we don't know?
its the point that you dont know them, so youre not biased.
Then just vote not guilty then.
if you don't want to be part of the process, cast your vote as if you weren't there.
If you vote guilty you've made an impact but if you vote not guilty then technically it's the same as not being there because the person is innocent untill being proved guilty, so you've just kept the status quo and you've not took part in conviction someone where the police are probably lying in an unbalanced system etc.
Just because you have to doesn't really mean you have to participate.
Kick back, chill, do nothing say innocent go home, you've not done anything to convict a man or woman and the court system and the jury duty has proved their own flaws.
That's what I've done twice.
Also if you want out of it, I've found to say you abuse substances and you have a drug problem and you're out of there.
Yes and most have no idea about law and the system just go buy what there hearing and there opinion it doesn’t matter if you know then or not cops decide the fait of people they don’t know everyday
You folks are fools.this actually a huge part of what makes the justice system acceptable and better them just accused and cast to the noose or whatever.
@@runNgun1516 yeah, bench trials would like a word mate 😂😂
Loved the video! Like you, I'm scouring TH-cam because I've been selected as a prospective juror this coming Monday. I'm nervous but the more videos I watch the more confident I am and know what it's going to be like.
i would honestly care less whoever gets prosecuted. Literally is just dragging you into the problem by force
You would care if your the one being prosecuted try to be in their shoes what they are going through being accused of a crime wouldnt you want a fair trial
I'd honestly just troll and say they should get the guilty criminal free. That's what the stupid jury gets for wasting my time, and not even paying me for it.
Exactly I think it’s unjust and I’m paranoid I don’t want someone like getting mad and hurting me cause I voted against them
@@henrysullivan8389 jury dosent make it fair some people are biased
@@idk-uv7mt You might end up acquitting. The level of evidence isn't uniform. Sometimes the defense has evidence of their innocence, or of the accusation being fabricated. Sometimes the prosecution doesnt really have any evidence either.
Thank you, I was kinda nervous cause I didn’t know what to expect but this video really helped a lot
I’m 18 and just got summoned for jury duty this month. ugh I really don’t want to do it I’m shy and honestly this just makes me anxious being with a bunch of random people and sitting in a court room for hours 😶
How was it ??

Not gonna lie, i got jury duty for the first time 6hrs from now and i find this video very useful. Thank you 🙏 i feel less anxiety after watching this video
I'm glad you found this video helpful! Thank you for watching. :)
I would be a prosecutors worse nightmare because i would need to know someone is guilty without a doubt before i would ever convict someone.
I suspect I will be the same. Mine is in three weeks.
Haven't even been selected and I'm almost 99.99% sure I'd be this way lol
Best thing to do is to default to Not Guilty
Yesterday, on January 20, 2023 I completed my jury service. This was my first jury trial I've been in. I got a summons in the mail back I believe on October 14, 2022 or somewhere around there and at the time I was 19. I remember filling out the 12 questions then signing up for registration. After, I went to my jury duty portal for orientation. Next, was calling or going on the portal to see when I had to go to the courthouse and I would have to go on October 27.
On October 27, 2022 I went to my local courthouse to the Jury Assembly Room. I felt out of place since I knew I was the youngest one there. I was there for like about 1 hour. All that was just discussed was the 12 questions, roll call to check if everyone was present, and asking everyone yes or no if they can serve. If you said yes then you got a yellow paper on what date to return and which department. If you said no then you will still need to come back and have a good reason for the judge on why you can't serve.
I returned back on November 14, two days after I just turned 20. We're at the assigned department and we were allowed to sit anywhere. What was discussed was the general subject about the case ( civil case if you were wondering) and we all got questionnaires about the idea of the case. The attorneys on both the plaintiffs and defense will look at them to select the 12 main jurors.
Two days later on November 16, we went back to continue the selection process. Once the 12 jurors are selected and sworn in you're basically there until the end. The attorneys then move on to select 12 alternative jurors. Once the 12 main jurors and 12 alternative jurors have been selected everyone else is dismissed.
Overall the experience was at times either boring, interesting, or okay. Originally the case was estimated to last 63 days or until February, but then got reduced.
Thank you for this! I'm a little anxious for my jury duty date but this was super helpful!!!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad it helped. :) Don't be anxious about it -- it's not as bad as you may think!
I just attended my first jury duty summons today at the Multnomah courthouse. Hours of waiting. Then 60 people were called to be dismissed for the day and come in tomorrow. I wasn’t one of them. 20-30 minutes later we were all dismissed and told we weren’t needed tomorrow. I’m actually glad cause there’s some stuff I was not looking forward to missing at work! But at the same time, darn.
It’s strange how jury duty work in a lot of states and cities. My dad would always ignore jury duty summons and he never got in trouble or anything. I was suppose to go a few months ago but i ignored the summons. They just sent me another summons with a different date to go but luckily I called a day before and was excused.
Don't forget to look into jury nullification if you are going to be a juror. You have lots of power as a juror.
I’ve been called three times. One time I sat in a room for half a day then they sent us all home as no juries were needed. The second was a DUI and I got kicked off during voir dire because (a) I’ve donated a few bucks to Mothers Against Drunk Driving and possibly (b) they asked if as an engineer I could ignore everything I know about how breathalyzers work and accept whatever bullshit I was fed (nope, sorry). The defense made a mistake by striking me as what I know about breathalyzers is that they are mostly designed by incompetent morons and are completely untrustworthy. The third trial I was empaneled and voted to be jury foreperson - a very serious case where a homeless man nearly beat a homeless woman to death. It was entirely a forensics case as the victim disappeared and there were no witnesses. The State did a piss-poor job of preserving and presenting the evidence and we jurors spent a day and a half deadlocked. Two jurors announced that they didn’t give a shit anymore and would vote with whichever majority so they could go home. When all seemed hopeless one of the jurors noticed something in the evidence photos that conclusively proved guilt, so we returned a guilty verdict including the GBH enhancements. After the trial I googled the defendant and it turned out he had been busted hundreds of times for all kinds of tweaker nonsense. I was an unpopular foreperson and barely survived a mutiny during deliberations - I made everybody verbalize their opinion on every major item of evidence, whereas a couple jurors wanted to monopolize the discussions which is what the shy people wanted. Overall it was a stressful pain in the ass but incredibly fascinating.
You have very good recall of the detail. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for this Video. I love TH-cam. They literally have a Video for everything!
This came at the perfect time! I go to the UO too and I was one of the lucky ones who got chosen for jury duty... I hope my number isn't called because I don't want to miss school.
Weird timing!! I hope my video helped guide you through what your experience may be! If you're number does get chosen, just know that it's an interesting experience!
Yrs ago I received a jury duty packet in the mail, at that particular time I lived in Houston Texas, jury duty was in Colorado.
I immediately called the number to tell them why I could not make jury duty, this women asked me all these questions, for example, do you work? I said yes, how do you get to work, I said, I either walk to work, or I ride my bicycle.
She actually said, how long do you think it will take you to get here if you start now, I asked her if she heard what I said, I either walk or I ride my bicycle.
To make this stupid story short, I was excused from jury duty.
If they want people on jury duty, get people who are closer then 5million miles away.
Excellent video… your presentation was great 🔥🔥👍👍
And thanks for the info ❤
I had jury duty 😒 yesterday. After 4 days of deliberation, I was released. It was really nice. Thanks, Judge.
If anyone would like to know, you are exempt from jury duty if you’re military or a military spouse.

My minds allready made up there guilty. Fuck these bastards this is the 4th summons i have received in 10 year's.
Jury Doody one big pile of shit and the summons is your tolite paper.
@Phantasmed and more True but i shouldn't have to lose a $112 because some peace of shit decided to break the law . I always get excused during the interview process. As soon as i tell them im a Security Officer and i back the Police 100% in there decision. They arrested the person for a resson because there guilty of committing a crime . What was the person arrested for? The person is being accused of Grand Theft Auto well there's your answer there guilty how much prof do you need ? Well they could be wrongfully accused. Maybe but the odds of that are very slim that's what the Detective and the Judge are used for to come up with a solution to the problem right ? You could just show us the evidence instead of wasting our time talking about pointless subjects that don't matter . Like where the bathroom is located. I'm sure they will find it oventuly. Sence you don't want me to waste your time and yall are cleary wasting mine how about you get to the point .
@@prettyfancypants907 it's very easy to get out of Jury Duty. They can tell who dosent want to be there. I just roll my eyes like im irritated and answer there questions with a smart ass remark.They treat the Jury like there stupid so i treat them like there stupid it always gets me excused. I know how to do it so i don't get in trouble. The fact is they wasted 3 hours of my time . I just call my boss and ask to fill in if anyone called off and someone always dose .

i have jury duty tomorrow 🙄🤦🏽♀️, thanks for the video
I first had jury service when I was 19 as well!!! I got drawn in to the jury box that time and I didn’t get struck so I was on jury duty for ten days. Great experience. Oddly enough this was in Seattle.
Did jury duty ten years later (10 years ago) and got drawn out of the box but as others were struck I got placed in the box so once again on a jury.
Last week I was on jury duty got drawn the highest number so I wasn’t needed (no offense to me). I wanted to serve but I was the only panelist to serve on two juries (not just jury selection but two actual juries).
A lot of cases resolve the day of the trial. Which is why your count went from 4 to 1.
Oh, ten days is too long. I don't want to do this.
good for you. Its nice to see a young person that cares and did not mind being there. While no one really wants to be there, its an obligation to serve and not be a jerk about it.
Great video! Lays it out pretty well.
Thank you! :)

Britnee Spelce-Will It is a small world after all so cool though. Don't they have a choir in your university? I've been doing church choirs after high school. In January might start choir with Concordia University, was accepted but will need to check with scedule for college. What are you majoring in?
UO does have choirs, but unfortunately I just haven't been able to dedicate the time necessary to be involved with choir. That's exciting! You'll have to let me know if you join Concordia's choir! I am double-majoring in Business & marketing, and advertising in the Journalism school!

I am excited about jury duty, getting to meet new people, etc. but I suffer from migraines and I'm anxious I'll have a bad one tomorrow since I've had mild ones past few days. Sometimes it's so bad, I get sick. I really don't want to serve on a jury because I won't be dependable and because it will impair my thinking. Makes me disappointed. It's the reason I don't have a full time career in my field.

I just got home from my first day of jury duty , 1/2 day due to weather . Got as far as Judge 's initial selection questionnaire . If I responded to the intrusive questions honestly I would not only be dismissed but likely be railed by the Judge tomorrow , but be provoked into a contempt of court .
This was really helpful. I go next month. The letter I received said to bring a laptop, tablet or book to keep you entertained. How does that come into play since you're supposed to be listening to the case? Also, are you allowed to snack during the whole thing? It seems difficult to just sit there for 8 hours.
That is reassuring at least, sounds like it's not too hard to get out of it. My job is simply too busy for me to afford to do that.
Freshly 18 and they makin me drive an hour to a court, wow.
I was recently called in for Jury duty on a criminal case and was excused. They said to be honest in your response to the questions. I was totally honest and said that based on my 30 year experience as a correctional officer, that roughly 95% of those arrested ended up being guilty after going through the court process. So, based on my experience I wouldn't be a great member on the Jury as I had developed a bias that the majority of defendants are guilty. Many of those I supervised admitted to crimes to other inmates prior to going to court, but had yet pled not guilty. The Judge questioned me about my feelings and it made me feel like I was put on the spot in front of the other Jurors for feeling the way I did. They say to be honest and open, but when you are you shouldn't be put on the spot. The person deserved a fair trail, but based on my experience I felt they were most were likely guilty. Hopefully the accused got a jury that did not have the same influences as I had and they were honest when asked about their biases and past experiences. In order to have fair and unbiased trial jurors have to be introspective and not be afraid to admit to any biases they may have.
I will do it only if I get paid for the hours i should be working. because this to me is still work and i do not look forward to it. btw since u were let go did they still compensate u the 15$? i read through the summons it does not clairify the ammount u may recieve if u work.
Thanks for the advice!
This was really helpful, I love it!

For anyone who cares I learned something interesting. Technically jury duty mail can go straight to the garbage. The sender has the burden of proof that they sent it, so if you didn't sign for it or if it doesn't come certified, they can't prove that you ever received it. Next time I get one I'm throwing that shit in the garbage
When I got called in I heard a woman behind me say that she was 63 and that it was the first time she had to sit there lol Imagine that
I'm about to be 22 in a couple weeks and have yet to experience this (hopefully I don't lol), however I always said to myself that even if I do get selected for this I would NOT at all be a good candidate because I would be bias as hell. If someone did something wrong especially is sexual a- cases and such I'm damn well gonna vote to have them put behind bars and rot for all of eternity. Knowing myself I'd probably get too emotional as well lol.

Um this doesn't help my anxiety skyrocketing. I got a thing in the mail today and my anxiety skyrocketed I really don't want to go. I'd rather be at work.
You'll be okay! It's not too bad!
My very first jury duty was very uneventful. Didnt have to do it or miss work, etc though you do get a minimal pay, for going. Or did back then.
I got my jury summons a few weeks ago I have to check tomorrow to see if I have to go. It would be cool if I did go and was picked. But I have a disability that makes it really painful to sit for long periods of time so I don't want to go. But I don't want to use that as an excuse.
I'm 19 and I just got it, none in my family EVER had it. I actually wanna listen to the case and trial so I hope I get picked. I'm nosy, I wanna know who fucked up their lives, hope they allow food.
Last Thursday on 2/3/2022 I received a jury summons for 2/7/2022! The court only gave me four days notice. To be accurate, not even four whole days as the mail is delivered in the late morning and I need to be in court at 8:15am Monday. That's only about 93 hours notice. This is my fourth time for jury duty and I have never had such sort notice before. Usually it's weeks notice. I have a job I need to go to and other commitments. Four days just isn't reasonable.
How it went?
@@Alex-zy6qu Sat around around for 3.5 hours then was told to go home. Called the number they gave us and the pre-recorded message told us jurists not actively sitting in a trial were no longer needed and that we had completed our jury duty.

We have a thing called the Sixth Amendment, and it's always on my mind when the word "Jury" is present. I admire you because your attitude is great about why we should be obligated to serve on the jury, and about the process. Most people are glad to get out of serving, but not me. The Framers of our Constitution drafted and ratified the Sixth Amendment for the reasons you indicated, but to take that a step further, _Duncan v. Louisiana_ was a Supreme Court case, which ultimately led to a ruling by the Court that a criminal defendant's denial for a jury trial by a Judge was unconstitutional. The Court held that “trial by jury in criminal cases is fundamental to the American scheme of justice, [and] that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees a right of jury trial in all criminal cases which -- were they to be tried in a federal court -- would come within the Sixth Amendment's guarantee." This is a big reason why we get called to serve on the Jury in cases like the one you heard and considered.
you're a nerd
So if you were summoned for two weeks does that mean you go the first day and then leave home and come back the next day?
Just got summoned for Jury Duty today. I have some health issues related to chronic pain so I’m just wondering how often I have to be there and if it’s like a full time job because if it is, I can’t physically handle it.
Jury is a waste of time, unless it is a high profile case. I then can make six figures in a matter of months. Then I can kick back and relax for the rest of my life.
tskjesusfreak you better invest that shit inflation exists bro lmao your 6 figures isnt gonna be 6 figures forever
6 figures for the rest of your life??😂
Heroin is a helluva drug...
6 figures ain't shit ....will only last a few years if that
lxH8xURxFACE Not even a few years. Shit get expensive everyday :(
Lucky you. I'm a felon. Didn't have a jury, took a plea. I'd love to get in one the process because we're empathetic. Having a clean record means you don't know the fate of the defendant.
A jury is supposed to be unbiased. You're definitely biased. You're exactly the type of person they don't want that's why felons don't get to serve on jury duty
I have jury duty on Monday during a pandemic! Yay!
I got jury duty next week. Thanks for the info.
