IME, getting out of jury duty is pretty easy
The problem is getting to the point where the lawyers reject you. You can end up sitting in court for days while they question the other jurors.
You can usually tell what the lawyers are looking for, and answer accordingly. The last time I got called for jury duty, I knew they would reject me, because they were rejecting all engineers. (They were afraid engineers would not listen to their expert witnesses. And in my case, they’d be right.)
But I had to sit there for three days, until they settled out of court. Without ever getting around to interviewing me.
I got out of jury duty in college just by being a student. I went to school across the country from where I was registered to vote and drive, so it was pretty routine.

And I had good reason. I’d dealt with “expert witnesses” in lawsuits at work, and they were dumber than dirt. One “expert witness” in a traffic accident case didn’t even know what the AASHTO manual was. That’s like a priest not knowing what a bible is.

I will catch hell for this I'm sure
But I have a real problem with him being labeled a rapist. That’s an incredibly awful thing to accuse someone of, and if true he should hang. If not, she should go to jail.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
i didnt call him a rapist
of course, i didnt protest when others did, but whatevs. i dont think he is guilty in this one episode, but sadly it would not surprise me if he was that type of guy.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were indicting him
I was speaking in generalizations of Steelers haters everywhere (I am one, FWIW). He IS probably a douchebag, most professional athletes are in my experience. That doesn’t mean he raped someone.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
That's the problem with rape
Too often it’s he-said-she-said. I don’t like to hang labels on people for crimes when they aren’t convicted or don’t plead. But it’s hard to completely avoid assigning some degree of guilt, particularly if the guy seems like a massive tool.
I absolutely HATE Kobe Bryant as a person
But I will say he didn’t rape that girl.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
and it's not assured that if he did indeed rape her
he knows he raped her
by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 10, 2009 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions
I think he did
It’s pretty rare for victims to make false accusations of rape.
And he apologized and paid damages. Not really what you expect from someone who was falsely accused.

agreed
this case is way too weird to be true. but i would bet there are a number of former Miami U coeds who have a few not-so-pleasant things to say about him.

I have absolutely no doubt that he's an asshole
Most people in his position are. That doesn’t give someone who willingly went to bed with him and had a less than ideal experience the right to claim rape.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
"less than ideal experience"
if she didnt want it the way he wanted it, and he gave it to her regardless, that’s rape brotha.

I understand that, no ALWAYS means no
That said, I’ll bow out of this conversation as this is neither the place nor time to have such a discussion. I stand by everything I’ve said and if anyone would like to elaborate further, I’m available via email. :)
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
I'll add one more thing
It’s easy to tar the accused, especially if he plays for the Steelers. So kudos to you for sticking up for an unlikeable person who’s vigorously asserted his innocence.
his innocence
isnt the only thing he vigorously asserted.

The problem with modern day "Amurrica"
Is that you are guilty until proven innocent if you are in the spotlight. It’s not fair, and it’s not in the spirit of of the Constitution. I’m not defending these people per se, I’m only defending their rights as citizens.

I don't buy it
We have the best justice system money can buy.
If you can afford a good lawyer, you won’t be convicted if you’re innocent.
You have a good chance of not being convicted if you’re guilty. (See Simpson, OJ.)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Well, we weren't really talking about the judicial system
Roethlisberger’s rights as a citizen haven’t been violated. It’s the presumption of guilt by some of the public that is more the issue.
I agree with you
Legally. They’ll get off, only because of who they are. That’s fine. But explain to Kobe’s kid why she had to hear the taunts of “your daddy’s a rapist!” when he was never convicted of a crime.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
i prefer "philanderer"
“adulterer” sounds so mature. like JFK was an adulterer. Kobe and Charlie Sheen are philanderers.

And I know it’s illegal in Pennsylvania, but it’s for charity. And I consider myself a great philanderer. It’s just… It’s nice to know at the end of the day, I can look in the mirror and say, “Michael, because of you, some little kid in the Congo has a belly full of rice this evening.” Makes you feel good.
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
That's part of the package if you choose that kind of life
There are great benefits, and there are great drawbacks. You can get away with stuff ordinary folk never would, and when you get in trouble, everyone knows it.
It’s too bad when kids are involved. But that happens even with non-celebs. A man in my town was recently accused of being a child molester. His picture was on the front page of the newspaper. His name has become something of a running joke in town. I imagine his kids are getting a ton of abuse at school.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I disagree
I believe that as an American citizen they are entitled to the same basic rights you and I.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
Huh?
I thought we agreed that nobody’s rights as a citizen have been violated.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Sorry, I meant he should get the same treatment you or I would
I think people in the limelight get the shaft when it comes to situations like this is all.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
I think he does
get the same treatment. Exactly the same. Just from more people.
Now if you wanted to argue that no one’s name should be published until they were convicted, I could understand it. I believe that is how things work in some countries.
But here in the US, everyone’s subject to the court of public opinion. Rich or poor, famous or not. Heck, that’s a big part of jury selection.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I do believe neither party should be named until there's a resolution
It’s a bit unfair as it is.
I get what you’re saying re: more people. I just get riled that so many people are willing to pass judgment without knowing anything about what happened. Rape is an incredibly serious accusation and should be treated sensitively IMO.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
it is unfair
But not more so for celebrities. They rarely lose their jobs or their place in society because of these kinds of allegations. It’s the ordinary folk who get hit there.
The only celebrities who suffer more than regular folk when accused of impropriety are politicians. Gary Condit, voted out of office because the woman he was having an affair with was killed…by someone else. John Edwards, political career ended because tabloid reporters trailed him to a hotel where he was meeting his mistress. Mike Duvall, forced to resign for bragging to a coworker about his sexual conquests.
Can’t say I feel real sorry for them, though.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Good point
I shouldn’t feel for them, I guess I just have a hard time imagining being in their shoes and having to deal with the constant attention. Of course given the chance to trade my privacy for tons of money, I can’t say I’d continue to be anonymous. :)
