Status: offline 		This is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time regarding American Jurisprudence. I'm glad this asshat's name, etc. is right out there, so people will know what a dimwit he is. As to the Notary Public, all she is required to do (in Virginia) is place the Affiant under oath as to the truthfulness of the contents of that document. It may have been the truth, but swearing to and signing one's name to such drivel is nuts. I wouldn't notarize something like that, for certain, but the Notary's job is to give the oath and sign off that the person made the oath under penalty of perjury. In Virginia, the wife wouldn't be allowed to notarize her husband's documents because she is a beneficiary of his working and not being a juror.

If I were the judge I would have told him to follow through with what he offered and count the wrinkles on his dog's balls.

I can't believe that he got excused from jury duty.  Like rewarding him for his little tantrum.

Status: offline 		I've dealt with notaries in several states.  More often than not (in the states I've dealt with), the notary is ONLY attesting that the person signing is who they say they are - that their identity has been established.  The notarization has nothing to do with the contents of the document.  Geez Red, Virginia always has to be different, doesn't it?

Would you want this guy on a jury even after he apologized?

Status: offline 		Me too, Hill.  I definitely wouldn't want him on any jury, which I'm sure that is exactly what the guy wanted, but it still seems like he got away with something.

Karma, however, is a bitch, and I'm sure she'll be biting him in the ass sometime in the future.

Yes... 28 pages worth of rules and regulations for Notaries Public

Just to nitpick, since that's what I do for a living... The wife's name is Jennifer. The notary's name is Susan McHedrick. The article states that the wife (Jennifer) helped create the document, but she did not notarize it.


"APRIL 30--There are probably better ways to avoid jury duty than the approach recently taken by a Montana man.

After Erik Slye, 36, received a jury notice earlier this year, he filed a notarized affidavit seeking to be excused from serving on a District Court panel in Gallatin County. Slye's caustic affidavit, which he prepared with help from his wife Jennifer, can be found here." (see link below)
