[QUOTE="Ryder, post: 378707, member: 663"] I have been called several times. First time I was selected for the jury in a slip and fall insurance case. After hearing the case we agreed that the store owner and building owner were not negligent in anyway for the dear ladies injuries. That is we all agreed except for one woman who said she didn't care and would go along with what the rest of us decided. In spite of agreeing that there was no negligence, with the exception of myself and one other, the rest of them wanted to give the poor lady who fell down some insurance money anyway. It took the two of us some time to convince the others that you can't find no negligence and still award money. They were willing to rip off the insurance company. To them it wouldn't cost anybody to give her some money and the insurance company had plenty of money. I don't have a lot of faith in the jury system as it is. Other times I have been called they didn't want me on the jury. When they questioned me I had a bad habit of arguing with the lawyers. Seemed to me they were looking for people they could easily influence. I'm sure I'm wrong. ;-) But that is the way it seemed to me. [/QUOTE]
