Why can't society compensate this person fairly for his help?
- garmaine 7y agoIt can. He should be able to invoice the DA for his time. The taxpayers (society) foots the bill.
- threwawasy1228 7y agoAs someone who just served Jury Duty in the USA. I can tell you the 'bill' for my services was barely minimum wage.
- ghaff 7y agoLast time I got called for jury duty (but didn't get chosen), I forget what the per diem rate was but basically it wouldn't have covered parking (or at least not by much).
- authoritarian 7y agoFortunately it's incredibly easy to get eliminated during the selection process if you know how to answer the questions
- garmaine 7y agoAnd without lying / perjuring yourself either. Telling the selective truth is enough :)
- palisade 7y agoI'd be a great juror. I can spot a criminal just by looking at them!
- xeromal 7y agoThen we end up with a jury that has only people that have nothing better to do
- threwawasy1228 7y agoI purposefully decided not to attempt to use a bunch of excuses to get out of it actually, because I was interested in the experience.
- garmaine 7y agoJury Duty is not the same as being served a subpoena for the prosecution.

- notJim 7y agoAs others say, society does to some degree, but isn't the real compensation for such things living in a society where people help each other in these circumstances? Not everything has to be a financial transaction.
