Jury Duty: A series with a *chef’s kiss* premise. In this programme, a fake trial in Los Angeles takes place. However, one of the 12 jurists doesn’t know that the trial isn’t real.
That’s right, one of the jurists is getting punk’d. And that jurist is Ronald Gladden, a solar panel installer. During the filming of Jury Duty, Gladden believed that he was a part of a real court case. Which is almost surreal, as this series is incredibly comedic. A lot of shenanigans take place around this man.
However, there’s a whack of proof on Ronald Gladden’s Instagram that this man isn’t an actor. Between 2019 and 2021, Gladden posted over 30 solar panel pictures.
As Gladden wrote in 2019, “The deal is, when we hook you up with solar, you hook us up with that pool access.”
What’s more, Gladden wrote in 2021, “New week, new site, new panels that need saving.”
Yet, it’s worth noting that Gladden’s a dude with a sense of humour about his work. Here are some of his funniest solar panel posts.

Ronald Gladden’s Wild Jury Duty Instagram Posts
In 2023, Ronald Gladden claimed on Instagram that he didn’t know that Jury Duty was staged. What’s more, Gladden’s comments on this subject feel super authentic.
On March 8, Gladden posted, “Last year, I had the craziest experience of my life, luckily, the cameras were rolling the whole time. Been keeping this a secret for a year, but can finally announce… Jury Duty.”
However, while this Instagram post is informative, it isn’t the best one that Ronald Gladden has made about Jury Duty. So here are a few of our faves:

However, if you thought we were at the end of this Jury Duty journey, you’d be wrong. ‘Cause since becoming Instagram famous, Ronald Gladden has been doing something king tier. He’s now always promoting One Simple Wish in his bio.
But on hold, what’s One Simple Wish? Well, it’s a charity that gives kids in foster homes something that they either want or need. They also organise parties, do giveaways, and provide scholarships to those who are inside of this system.
