    I have jury duty coming up and my boss has given me a predated written excuse to get out of jury duty because she doesn't think "regular people should have to serve on that level of jury duty." I'm offended in so many ways that I didn't ask what she meant by the statement.

    Well in England, they have professional jurors...
    It's like they regular job, so in many respects, not a trial by peers...

    Maybe that's what she meant, but tactles nonetheless...

    We still have to do it over here in England so nope the boss lady is still a *kitten*.

    Really... I thought you guys had professional jurors

    Is that just for high profile cases?

    Me hella talking like I know 😂

    No, whichever case you get assigned to. You get a summons in the post and you have to respond or you get fined. There are discrepancies in the way courts are run across the UK, ie I think Scotland and Wales have bigger or smaller juries. I don't think we have 'professional jurors'... *heads to google* 🤔

    This makes me wonder about a “jury of peers.”

    Do people with titles (do we still call them aristocracy?) get a jury of the same?

    Is there a (nowadays theoretical) difference in the juries of nobility versus commoners?

    Did the seller actually have the house viewing open to the public even in that state? Damn... It doesn't even look save to breath in there!

    Shoveling snow is hard. Especially with layers of ice in it.

    Change that light bulb, I said to myself. You don't have to wait until your TOM's over, to ensure that you won't be clumsy enough to have butterfingers & drop it.
