I've been selected for Jury duty!

Tell them you're prejudiced against all races and religions and twitch in your seat.

That usually works.

Have fun! LOL!

I've never been called for local jury duty, (county/state), but have been summoned for Federal. The people in the jury pool were quite interesting and entertaining to say the least. Security was intense. We were escorted everywhere including the bathrooms. The first day was fine. By the end of the second and third day, I was like, just either pick me for a jury or let me go home. Even with a good book to read, it was a long few days until all the jurors were selected.

A guy just got jail time for that. Contempt of court was the charge, I think.
However, you don't have to go to extremes like that guy did. The attorneys will ask
you lots of questions looking for some hint of a reason that they want to get rid of you.
It shouldn't be hard to give them an answer that isn't exactly what they wanted to hear.

Alternatively, you could just do your civic duty and it might even be a little bit fun too,
Then you can walk out of there with self esteem knowing you did the right thing,
rather than walking out knowing you're a liar, and a lazy one at that.

PS - the DA will be present, if it's a criminal cas, so I wouldn't suggest using your line of
work to get out of jury duty, although it would probably work.

Do you think before you speak or type? Yeah it might be fun and interesting but I just don't have time for it right now. My son keeps me quite busy around here so I don't know where you get off calling me lazy, or a liar. I pay my taxes, I vote and I even volunteer.....So PLEASE spare me the pathetic speech!

I happen to be going back to school to finish my education in criminology so this is very interesting to me, the time is just not right!

Crawl back under your rock idiot. Unlike you most people have lives and don't have time for jury duty. Do you even know FB before you make such a statement?

I agree Raymor that was a pretty stupid post. Great way to get the people of Xnations to root for you

Dude, wtf is with calling her a liar and lazy? Thats pretty a pretty ignorant and boneheaded thing to say without knowing her situation.

I was called for jury duty back in the winter right when we had a lot of problems at Submitpasses. I could not afford to miss the time at work not for financial reasons, but because I was primary on the project. I tried to get them to exclude me on the current pool and come back to me again in a few months, but I was denied the request. So I didn't shave for 2 weeks before having to show up, and I wore the dirtiest farm clothing I had on the day I had to go in. When I was called up for consideration I was immediately passed over by the defense council.

The trial was for those alleged Canadian terrorists which would have meant I would have been stuck there for months.

Am I lazy and a liar too because of the way I got out of jury duty?
