Does being a veteran keep you from serving on a jury?

Go, figure LTC. While assigned to the Defense Language School in an DoD E9 billet, I was called to serve in a civil case in Salinas. I served. And, as I received a government salary, it cost the good people of Monterey County and California zippo. If California had no problem back in 1997, not sure why your current state would, unless of course the judge tolerates discrimination based on service to our country. You just might want to sent that up to your state's attorney general. Perhaps, we may wish to close out bases in that state. As I like to tell folks, "you want it bad, you get it bad."

Nope. Between my tours of active duty I served on juries twice.

The only issue that I had when I was called for jury duty was that after the Marine Corps I went to college and received a degree as a paralegal and that I had worked for a public defender for the neighboring county. The attorneys were more intent on that than they were about my military service. Ultimately during the month that I was on call I ended up on the jury for 3 separate one day trials

Almost all attorneys are Democrat........The goal is to break down the fabric of America, ignore the Constitution and create activists judges......You as a military member are considered a Patriot or Nationalist.....Patriots and Nationalists are now the enemy within America..... You made an oath to support and defend the constitution which is bad..... In the "New America" the "Old Stock Americans" are the enemy and marginalized as a threat to the "New Americans" globalists agenda. Ask yourself when you were in the courthouse where did you see the Constitution openly displayed!!!!!! The same thing happened in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution (Holodomor) when Marxists, Communists, Socialist started marginalizing the "Old Stock Nationalist/Patriot" Russians, demonized capitalism, ignored their Constitution and initiated a media propaganda campaign full of nothing but lies against the Nationalists/Patriots/Capitalists/Constitutionalist..... In Russia the 20 to 60 Million "Old Stock" Nationalists/Patriots/Constitutionalists Russians were all rounded up murdered/starved to death.....During the Russian Holodomor gun owners were convinced to turn in their guns and then a couple week later after turning in their guns the communists came back and shot them and their whole family.....Sadly it appears our current military leadership is weak, being reprogrammed and incapable of recognizing the current internal threat right here in America of those who are undermining our Constitution and national sovereignty......

I'm curious what the trial was for as I have been called three times, served twice, once as foreman. Never ask about military service.

I have served on several Juries but was not asked if I was a veteran. If this is a selection criteria I would be most concerned.

I have been chosen, then at the last minute the case was settled before bringing in the jury.

No. Not since I have retired, I have not been called

The first time I got a summons I was recruiting in my home town. I'm back in the area now....have been for 13 years. haven't see a summons since. They don't even want to talk to us and like someone said...if you're educated they REALLY don't want you. The community barely puts up with us in a lot of ways so it really shouldn't come as a surprise. The expect us to all be very conservative, disciplined and for some reason the think that we don't get civilians. They have that backwards.

That doesn't suprise me
