I've been called for jury duty 3 times. The only time I had to go, I sat around while other people got questioned until lunchtime, went to lunch, came back, and then was immediately sent home. Why they couldn't have done that before I spent money on lunch, I'll never know, but at least I didn’t need to serve on a jury.
Because there’s a lot of gamesmanship going on. If you were sent home during jury selection, it means the two sides came up to an agreement before the jury seated, and it was too late.

My wife recently got called for jury duty. We were baffled to realize that being a full-time parent to little kids was not a valid reason to be exempted from jury duty. Like do you want her to bring the kids with her to jury duty? And since we didn't know which day she would have to attend or if she even needed to attend at all for a period of an entire month, we couldn't arrange for a babysitter in advance. I basically just had to tell my work to expect the possibility that I may need to take a day off to watch the kids while she did jury duty. Fortunately, she never had to actually attend, but it was a ridiculous process.
Wow, I just got a jury notice in the mail a couple of days ago, so this video is right on time. Luckily I'm a student, so I can get out of it pretty easily if I get told to show up. Also, funny that someone got put on trial for jay walking in a state where jay walking isn't illegal anymore lol.
Easiest way to get out of it is just to say you have no regard for law and authority and you'll probably find the person not guilty just because they bothered you to be there

@@etherealhawk I get you but still, you have to admit getting directly summoned for the duty of judging others who are either A. Less fortunate than you or B. Mildly to very evil is an experience that should be considered weirder than just a thing that happens
@@pumpkin_pants3828 heres the thing, despite living in a country where it does happen you can tell when you put deeper thought into it that something sounds weird, you can say "oh well anything will sound weird when you explain it weird" but there are certain things that hardly sound normal even explaining it in a simpler manner. Overall yeah it sounds weird to me because it's foreign but it also sounds weird overall due to it simply being something that's inherently unusual, it does make sense at the end of the day though(reasons explained above, not my comment).
@@yuvalzabary9270less fortunate than you is not an option usually. The jury is picked based on a lot of criteria, including your income. It has to be “a jury of your peers” as per constitution. Being evil is not a criteria. Although you political preferences are. I’ve worked with the department who does jury selections and I’ve seen the system where all of the county residents data is stored. It’s crazy detailed.
If you find the law unjust tell them and tell them that you're refused to cooperate with it. You are allowed to do this it is called jury nullification.
I actually wanted to do jury duty, but by the time I finally got a summons, I had to ask to be excused for health reasons. Chronic severe migraines do not a court schedule keep.
My only jury duty experience: I showed up around 8 am spent approximately 10 hours getting ready and going through the interviews, and they never even talked to me.
Another fun option is after all the warning that it's absolutely essential that you be there, sometimes they don't actually need you. But you only find out after a full day of sitting there in a room full of like 200 other people.
The most terrifying thing about our jury system is that "I'm an intelligent individual in a systematic and very logic-driven profession with no personal connections to this case but a strong desire to perform my civic duty and see justice done" is a sure-fire way to get dismissed from a jury.
This was my literal real life experience at Jury duty. This skit is too realistic. And the reactions to all the stupid responses. Most of the jurors didn't understand a single question being asked. It was ridiculous. 😂
The first time I had Jury Duty was in the 90s, back then there was no call in you had to show up at the courthouse every day and sit in a huge waiting room with hundreds of other people just in case you were called. One time I sat in the room all day every day for 5 straight days then on the last day I was selected for a jury.
I called the number and a robot told me, paraphrased, "you don't have to come" and immediately hung up, it was so fast I wasnt sure what was actually said
One way I've gotten out of Jury duty is by telling the judge that eye witness testimony is the lowest form of evidence there is and should NEVER be used in court under ANY circumstances. You see, in court eye witness testimony is considered the highest form of evidence. I dont get it either.
Every time I got the jury duty card, it was late because I never check my snail mail, it stacks up for ages sometimes lol. So I'd call them in a panic, and they are always oh no worries, I'll check you off you're fine.
I was going to deduct 1/10th of a point because you didn't work the term "voir dire" into the video, but then you blindsided us with Blinkest. Never saw that one coming. Well done!

I live in a civil law country. While we do have criminal juries, they're much rarer than in the US, and the prevalence of them in crime/legal shows was always interesting to me. It's rare to be called on jury duty, or at least rarer than in the US. I think the only person who did it was my grandmother 30 something years ago.

The most terrifying thing about our jury system is that "I'm an intelligent individual in a systematic and very logic-driven profession with no personal connections to this case but a strong desire to perform my civic duty and see justice done" is a sure-fire way to get dismissed from a jury.
Does being physically incapable of caring less about the result of the trial count as being impartial or emotionally compromised?
"Then MOVE. TO MARS" 😂 that was golden
This was my literal real life experience at Jury duty. This skit is too realistic. And the reactions to all the stupid responses. Most of the jurors didn't understand a single question being asked. It was ridiculous. 😂
I have jury duty in 2 days and of course this shows up in my feed.
Love the intro and extrovert energy between the judge and him
If the court employees were this sassy Jury Duty wouldn't be so boring. 😅
This jury selection gotta be breaking the 8th Amendment “no cruel or unusual punishments” in some way
You in your air conditioned and heated car, can wait for the person walking without heating or air conditioning.
Seeing The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck in the books
SMOOTH TRANSITION to the AD! lol ❤
Jury nullification is a thing
5:47 To skip sponsor
I literally just got done with jury duty today. Just saw the vid today, so timing was incredible!
I love how it’s a J-walking case in California wine J-walking is literally one of the nationwide crimes that is now legal
The first time I had Jury Duty was in the 90s, back then there was no call in you had to show up at the courthouse every day and sit in a huge waiting room with hundreds of other people just in case you were called. One time I sat in the room all day every day for 5 straight days then on the last day I was selected for a jury.
Damn he snuck in a punishment video in this jury video
Zach Star ladies and gentlemen! 👏👏 The only RUclipsr that can trick me into watching a full ad without fast forwarding 😂😂😂
I called the number and a robot told me, paraphrased, "you don't have to come" and immediately hung up, it was so fast I wasnt sure what was actually said
I love how the sponsor is genuinely one of the funniest bits of the video everytime
I was really expecting the punchline to be that Zach was the one who jaywalked, and this whole thing was his punishment
One way I've gotten out of Jury duty is by telling the judge that eye witness testimony is the lowest form of evidence there is and should NEVER be used in court under ANY circumstances. You see, in court eye witness testimony is considered the highest form of evidence. I dont get it either.
Every time I got the jury duty card, it was late because I never check my snail mail, it stacks up for ages sometimes lol. So I'd call them in a panic, and they are always oh no worries, I'll check you off you're fine.
USA or UK?
I love how you literally make the sponsor part of the video
"There is a chance he's still alive"
The ad read was honestly the best part of the video
That was one of your best videos!
This channel is slept on
Jury duty is so funny.
"Hey, how about being as incompetent at the law as you are in choosing someone to run a country?"
I recently got a jury duty letter, but thankfully, I hadn't lived in that state for over 2 years, so I was disqualified.
I was going to deduct 1/10th of a point because you didn't work the term "voir dire" into the video, but then you blindsided us with Blinkest. Never saw that one coming. Well done!
Accurate description of the typical interaction with Gavin.
Edit: this whole video is completely accurate and hilariously so.. well sorta depressing to, but funny all the same
I’ve received a jury duty notice every year for the last 4 years and it MUST stop!!
Meanwhile after losing his mind, Zach murders all other jurors, the prosecutor, and the lawyers.
If you live in a rural area or a suburb you MIGHT not have to actually appear, but if you live in a big city, plan on appearing.
The only youtuber I watch the ad for. The ads dont feel out of place from the skit and still funny. lmao.
I live in a civil law country. While we do have criminal juries, they're much rarer than in the US, and the prevalence of them in crime/legal shows was always interesting to me. It's rare to be called on jury duty, or at least rarer than in the US. I think the only person who did it was my grandmother 30 something years ago.
Knowing several people who just ignore em, its the best decision
Just say the magic words: "jury nullification"
Channel is so underrated the production value alone is amazing
I mean, I never had any trouble with this. At least, all the stuff leading UP TO jury duty. Never actually been.
My grandmother taught me not to go for jury duty so I don't even respond to summons. I throw them away. 🤷♂️
Thanks fella, I enjoyed that
Man he was ready to go when it was his turn 💪 Seems like a great pick
Bro November 7th was my 31st bday and my first show playing in two new bands. I'm gonna love using this clip for random stupid purposes in discord and vr. Always amazing content from you. Love it!
Remember kids, if you get jury duty just flip a coin to decide if they’re guilty or not!
It'll be fairer then our current system.
Mr. Dent, your alter ego is speaking again.
@@jajafeedyns8082OMG ILY
Or for the exact same amount of work, you could just listen and come to a conclusion.
I've gotten to the point in Zach's videos that I am actually seeing him as different people instead of him as every role. For some reason, it just feels like different people, now.
that cgp grey video is truly saving me now
One of the best video so far
