Episode 167:You Got Jury Duty... Now What?

 

TOPIC: 

This week we’re talking about the universally dreaded topic of… jury duty. We cover what to do if and when you get summoned — because you will! — how to postpone jury duty, jury duty standards, and how the jury duty process works. First, Natalie is embracing what she loves in the form of ET content, and Corinne is curious about why she’s dreaming about Chad Michael Murray. 

Then, we unveil the history around jury duty, including civic responsibility and what the jury duty process looks like. We also debunk jury duty standards and share the process from beginning to end, depending on the length of the trial! Plus, we have some interesting jury duty stories featuring OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein, and a Hollywood sex therapist murder trial!
