Juristan

I have an objection. I object to the ridiculous judicial system that exists in this country. Somehow I managed to be selected for a jury. Yes I know - "You" would have gotten out of it - "You" know what to say to make the attorneys and judge not select "you". Well, I have to be honest with "you". Maybe "you" aren't that smart. Actually, maybe "you" are kinda dumb and that's why "you" weren't picked. Not due to your brilliancy but your stupidity! Maybe they don't want people like "you" on a jury. Did you ever think of it that way?
So for almost 2 months, 12 fellow citizens and myself were forced to sit in a court room and listen to testimony from various professionals and private citizen regarding a frivolous law suit where the plaintiff could not remember one fact of the case. Did you live at 123 Main St? "I can't recall" said the plaintiff stated. Well did you ever live on Main St? Once again the reply was "I can't recall". What was the name of your doctor at this time? "I can't recall" stated the plaintiff. During this time were you married to Mr. Smith? Oh you guessed it...."I can't recall". I'm just curious if you don't know where you live or who you were married to or who your doctor was or any other pertinent fact, how do you recall that grievous injuries were sustained? Oh that's right because grievous injuries are related to oodles of cash and that jogged your memory. And after two months it never went to the jury because they settled. Lucky for the plaintiff because we the jury did not believe the stories we listened to you tell.
