5. Jury Duty Is a scam
Sat Jun 20, 2015, 07:46 AM

Designed to give the public the illusion of a fair and impartial verdict! how so, few if any low wage workers receive any remuneration for time spent on a jury thereby eliminating mostly poor, Black, and low wage whites from the Jury pool. (How do you think Prosecutors end up with Lilly white Juries?) further punishing them (The low wage worker) for being poor as they waste a day in the system discovering they are excused because of No Pay rules like this, thus already loosing a days wages. 5 bucks a day don't cover it!
