How do I get out of jury duty?

[Hooks]

I was summoned for jury duty on March 7th and I don't want to go, I don't meet any of the requirements that'd make me exempt from not attending so I have to go or else I'm going to get a fine. What are some good ways to keep them from picking me?

It's simple.

Do your civic duty.

I'm not sayin' I would do this....but...

show up....and when they describe the case to you and ask you questions...

just completely slam the accused and say he is guilty automatically due to ...

being gay, being white, being black, being a woman, being a man-whatever...

show yourself to be a bigoted biased jury member and they will kick you out...

Shoot yourself in the face. And for your mother's sake, keep it off the upholstery. It's a bitch to get out.

If it's anything besides a violent crime, give the person an innocent verdict.

I've never gotten to do jury duty... am I missing anything?

Rub your crotch incessantly while selection is going on, and squirm in your chair. When they ask you what's wrong, tell them that you are a masturbation addict and must pleasure yourself hourly, no matter what, and will court recess be granted for you to do so.

Well, of course, you have to play the part intelligently...

I don't mean just spout off some racist crap...but subtly show a little of your bias (or pretend bias) until the prosecutor...or defendants lawyers get a little uncomfortable with you...

believe me...if any of the lawyers think you are definitely going to hurt their case...they won't want you...

1.) Check the box on the back of the form that says you can't read or write and mail it back.

2.) If you get picked, tell the attorneys you did jail time with the defendant. They will dismiss everyone.

[01Snake]

Just don't go. They do not send the summons via certified mail so they have no way to prove you even received it.

[balli]

If you want a real answer:

Show up. Tell them very calmly and honestly that you have strong political views, many that might run contrary to the law and that you support the process of jury nullification for any number of potential reasons. Tell them that without knowing the details of the prosecuting and defending arguments, you have no idea whether you'll be interested in upholding the law.

If you show up and are honest in saying that you want no part of being there and would happily demonstrate bias in disregard to the law and facts of the case, they'll shake their heads, but wouldn't ever put you on the jury.

Better than pretending to hate black people.

[Crookshanks]

Sorry - why can't you just do your civic duty?

[Bender]

just think what you can do with that $6 per day

(minus parking, lunch, and gas)

[BruceBowenFan]

Just say its against your religon to judge anybody, that's what these three ladies said and didn't get picked. I jowever didn't speak up and kept quiet and got picked.

[Oh, Gee!!]

do your civic duty for once in your miserable life

[Brutalis]

Doing civic duty would cost me money, and that's my little girls money, so I would do whatever it takes to get out of jury duty.

I like the answer balli gave.

[RedsLakers24]

I have the same fucking problem, being a student in California doesnt excuse you from going, wtf. I got called for april 4th.

[Chachachango]

I almost got out one time by lying that I had school but they wanted a copy of my schedule.

[ploto]

I only ended up on a panel once, and I knew my honest answer meant the one side would not want me. It was a civil case and I truly did not believe in an equal burden on both sides. It was over custody of a little girl about 2 or 3 years old who had been living with the mom. The mom and dad were never married but the dad's parents wanted him to file for custody and move her out of town to where they live. My belief was that he had the burden to prove to me that there was a great reason why the girl should be taken from her mother, given to him, and made to move from her familiar surroundings. It was obvious from the questioning that they were going to attack the fact that the mom was in college and had her kid in day care while the dad's parents said they could take care of her during the day. Not a reason to me. The fact that it was a girl and that he was never even married to the mom further affected my view. It was actually kind of funny. I was the last person on the panel and his attorney tried as hard as he could never to get to the questioning of me. He tried twice to say they had questioned enough potential jurors but the judge made them finish. Somehow, I guess he could tell by looking at me!! Evey single person on the panel he asked if they could view the case with an equal burden of proof, but not me. He asked me one silly question. Sure enough, her attorney made sure to ask me so that the jurors would hear my answer. One other guy went on and on about how the dad had no claim since he did not marry her, and I wondered if he really meant it or if he wanted out of the jury.

If you aren't American enough to do your civic duty, then cry like a girl when you get there, and wet your pants.
